One player acts as scrum half- feeds ball to first receiver. Players move the ball along the line at pace.
When it reaches the end, outside man passes it back along the line. Score try.
Meanwhile, scrum half runs across the zone to the other ball.
All players reload on that ball, running the same way as first play. Scrum half passes to first receiver. Repeat action with other ball.
Change the scrum half. Replace balls and repeat exercise.
Everything at full speed.
If passing is erratic, players move closer together.
Fundamental passing and catching techniques imperative.
Apart from changing scrum halfs, no rests.
