Hi Jack,
have you tried looking in our tag rugby section? We've got lots of variations which should help you with your pre-season sessions.
All the best,

Hi, Jack.
One variation i use for teenage players is for both the ball carrier and the player that touches him to do 1 push up then attack the ball,(semi live ruck)
or one that has only 3 goes with the ball, and then a hand over, the team that lost the ball must have 2 players kneel down at one end (this creates an overlap) but players are allowed to rise and rejoin the game after 3 passes...also if a try is scored all players of the scoring team must be on more than 10 meters from the try line, then attack the other try line.

I generally try and build the tag up with a series of additional rules. Some that have worked include%3A
- Defenders must step back 3 paces
- Turn and pop rather than place ball on ground after tag
- SH must rip the ball
- Ball has to go to a moving player
- Player must go down after tag
- Attackers need 1/2 guards at breakdown
- Defenders can compete after a count of 3
Also dont forget you can do a lot just by changing the size of the availible playing area. Narrow it up to force depth, then widen up to open gaps.
