Players form 4 equal lines facing the centre of the 5m grid, the 2 players facing each other start with a ball each.. The players with the ball run into the middle of the grid and pass the ball to the left around each other, the then follow the ball. The two players catching the ball then run in, repeating the above. After a couple of minites give the player a rest and then continue having the player pass right instead of left.

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.
