Here is an interview with Richie McCaw, but in the background you can see some simple ideas for drills around the breakdown.
He has obviously built this up for the players, in stages.
What we can see at the end is about four different elements:
1. Ball placement
2. Clearing the threat or challenging for the ball.
3. Clearing the next threat
4. Playing on from the ruck.

The coaches at London Irish are full of excellent ideas. Here is a video of a drill created by David Williams and London Irish Head Coach Toby Booth.
It is quick to set up, interesting and slightly unusual. It gives you an excellent chance to concentrate on honing good technique.
