8 players.
2 x 2 Attackers, 2 x 2 defenders
1 attacker takes the ball into contact (stay on feet), turns and presents the ball to his 1st supporter who rips and pop to the next supporter (scrum half). He passes to the 4th player and then follows the ball to be the first support in the next maul.
The defenders try and turn the ball carrier and rip the ball.

Attackers keep depth, 2 players have to follow the pass as are the 2 support players.
Defenders stay on side -back foot and in the maul (not coming around the side).
Develop with the defence actively trying to turnover the ball.
