Set up a rectangle (roughly 5m x 2m) with three attackers (blue) and three defenders (red) on opposite sides.
The attacker in the middle has the ball and runs towards one of the gaps between the three defenders. The middle defender makes the tackle, with the assistance of the defender on the side towards which the attacker ran. The attacker who has been tackled presents the ball back towards the attackers. After the tackle the two defenders involved get back to their feet to contest the ruck against the other two attackers. The third defender works round to the far side of the ruck from them, to simulate defending round the corner after a ruck
Two man tackle - the first defender tackles the attacker low and the second defender goes higher up
Long/Pencil present -
Presenting the ball as if they are parallel to the side line instead of perpendicular.
