Each player in team is given number 1-4. Coach says which team is attacking and calls a number. That number player on attacking team is fly-half. That number player on defending team is time-keeper and stands next to coach. On whistle: time-keeper starts stop-watch defending 3 players form defensive line attacking players get into T position (flyhalf as indicated by coach). Attacking team has 1 minute to score a try (including time taken getting into position). Time-keeper tells coach when 1minute is up. Reset with another number called.
Quick decisions on positions. 1st pass goes from scrum-half to fly-half. Attackers to run forwards with the ball (time limit). Offload quickly if tagged. Support players to be in positon all the time, not running offside.

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.
