This is my favourite drill it gets you to approach a breakdown from different directions, before getting yourself on balance to deliver a quality pass, again you can either use a partner or even the goal post as a target.

- Set up a simple diamond shape using coloured cones like below
- Get your partner to position themselves on one of the star positions
- Place 3 balls inside the diamond in front of the red cone
- Now stand in the diamond shape facing the red cone

Take it in turns to run around each of the other colour cones after each colour cone you must pass 1 ball to your partner who is stood still on one of the target stars. After you have passed all 3 balls replace them in the diamond. Get your partner to take up a position on one of the other star targets.

Repeat steps 4 and 5. Repeat drill with your partner taking up all star positions.

Once you have completed a full circuit you would have practiced passing to your left, right and straight back and you would have approached each of those passes from the left, right , and behind. A complete passing exercise to cover just about all that your likely to face at a ruck.
