Four players hold bags in a diagonal line, about 5 meters apart. Offense will work in groups of three. The first player will carry the ball into contact, and then pop-pass to his support player. The second player will then carry the ball into the second bag holder, and pop to the third offensive player. The original ball carrier will now take the pop-pass and continue the cycle.
The crashing player needs to make sure to execute a good pass, and then follow to be in position to receive later.

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.
