Make an L-Shape with cones. Ouside player from black cone runs in a straight line. He then passes to the inside man who is running straight. The insde man passes to the top player on the red cone. The 2 runners reload but onto the red cones now, not the black cones. The 2 players copy this sequence and reload onto the black cones.
Need 1 ball and 2 cones (colour A), 2 cones (colour B) and 1 cone (colour C). Add an extra black and red cone for the larger groups. Coaching quick hands and straight running with ball in hand. Helps teach quick reloading.

Most line breaks are made by support runners, not ball carriers. Teach the angles, depth and timing that get them there.
The isolated ball carrier is rugby's spookiest turnover. Here is the five-step fix, plus drills that rebuild support lines fast.
Tacklers are aiming lower, so carriers who dip late put heads at risk. Teach footwork, a strong early body height and leg drive to win the collision safely.
