Split the players into two teams. The aim of the game is to get the rugby ball and score in the furtherest square. When passing the ball down the field the player must touch the ball on the ground before a player on the opposite team tags them. To score, one player on their team must catch the ball in the square. Players defending are not allowed to enter the square they're defending.
