One team of 7 will be in attack, the attack should start behind the 22 meter line and they will have the ball.
The defenders will have 4 defenders behind the posts, the other defenders will be in goal (give them a passing exercise to do).
On the whistle the attack begins, it will be 7 v 4, full contact.
If the attack score a try, the defence will then go to 5 players - and will again start from behind the posts while the attack will start from behind the 22.
Each time the attack score, the defence increases by 1.
Count how many attacks are needed to get to a 7 v 7 situation.
The teams will then switch.
The winning team is the team that can get to a 7 v 7 situation in the fewest attacks.
