I think maybe it focuses total attention on ball. a good exercise in hand eye co-ordination. Useful in close quarter passing and off loads senarios, especially amongst forwards who at rucks can be recieveing ball at such heights i would think. would also love to here others comments.
This drill is used in other sports I've played too (Grid-Iron, Basketball), and is designed to improve the all around feel for the ball. Hand and finger speed is necessary to execute basic passing and is especially important for offloading. People who are required to carry the ball a lot often start every practice with warm-ups like this.

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.
