Split your players into two teams, giving one group of players a set of coloured bibs to set them apart, and quickly tell your players the following laws:
Keep the law briefing, brief! Get your players moving as quickly as you can.
When touched a player has three seconds to make their pass, and they can keep running (reduce or increase this time depending on your coaching goals/targets). They don't need to set the ball down - just pass.
You could change three seconds to three steps, change depending on your goals and the skill level of the players.
No forward passes - normal rugby laws should apply.
You might decide on 5 touches before the ball is turned over, but more or less is ok. Also - you might decide on unlimited touches. It all depends on your targets as a coach, and your players age and skill levels.
Change the laws as you see fit, and let us know the variations that work for you.
Coaching points
Focus on just a few coaching points, the points must be relevant to your session.
Keep the laws simple and get the players going as soon as you can, no standing around and no debates.
Focus on attacking space at speed.
Encourage players to get beyond the touch, the tackle in this game.
Players should try and keep the ball in two hands to allow for an offload - but you might also allow players to try off-loading the ball with one hand (what are the limitations?).
Support runners should be encouraged, they should be moving at pace and they should offer the ball carrier options.
What's happening to the defence, they are moving back - is this an opportunity and how best can it be exploited?
Might players move the ball quickly away from the point of contact once they have gotten beyond the contact - away from any traffic and into space?
