Divide your total numbers by 3 and pick this number of talls, e.g. 30 players, pick 10 talls. Two other players join each tall to make a threesome, each group has a ball. Extra players take a ball and make a group of 4.
(A) starts by feeding a high handball to ruckman (B). Rover (C) judges the ball in-flight and moves to a position where (B) can palm to them. (C) roves and returns to (A) with a handball.
Rover (C) must use constant voice to let the ruckman know where they are, and where they want to ball to be tapped.
Rover (C) must be on the move throughout
Ruckman should vary the strength of their tap, sometimes making (C) chase the ball.
Once (A) receives the handball from (C), they again feed another high handball to ruck (B), who again palms to (C)
Encourage (A) to vary the depth and angle of their feed
(C) must position themself according to the feed, e.g. a deep feed would suit a receive out the backdoor
(C) continues roving for 2 minutes and must retain their intensity throughout, avoiding mistakes made when tired such as over-running the ball, or missing the target with return handballs.
After 2 minutes, blow the whistle to signal a changeover. (A) and (C) swap roles, the tall (B) stays as ruck. Repeat the drill until each player has had several turns roving.
