Rugby IQ provides a great drill to help improve one on one rucking.  Improve your game with Rugby IQ.

Lie two tackle bags down next to each other with a small space in between them. Place a ball in the middle of the space between the bags. Two players lie down next to the bags and on the whistle get up quickly and try to steal the ball. The player who does not get the ball must drive the player in possession back and try and wrestle the ball away from him for 5 seconds. Ball is reset in the middle of the bags and drill is repeated.

Coaching Tips:

Emphasise speed off the deck and maintaining a low body position while trying to steal the ball.

Encourage maximum intensity when wrestling for the ball.
