Mawgan,
I use the following drill and adapt it to players ability. Can be used for mauling too.
Counter Ruck
DESCRIPTION
Condition the drill in favour of 1 team, in this case the blue team. All players lay on their fronts behind the tackle bags. On the coaches whistle, the 2 teams move to contest possession. The blue players can move straight over the bag to contest, but only the 1st red player can do the same. The other 2 red players have to run round the cones before moving in to counter ruck.
