Players work in groups of Five against two defenders (holding tackle bags) The first attacker run with the ball into the shield and places the ball. The next two attackers attempt to clear the ruck and push back the two defenders stood over the ball. The next two attackers then come in and secure the ruck so the scrumhalf can fetch the ball and pass it to the next attacker who will start the whole drill again.
Clear out players should adopt a low body angle on approach and drive the defender up and away keep knees bent, eyes on target and head up

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.
