(As used by the Springbox 2015) 3 Players start off with sliding across the tackle bags using legs and arms on the floor to slide across them. They then retire to the cones as a three and with one ball hit the contact pads and ruck over.
The low body positions needed to get across the bags should hopefully keep the players low for the 2nd stage of rucking.

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.
