Create situations under pressure where passers and their support players have to run at one angle and then pass at another. Encourage players to attack at pace and find ways to keep the ball moving forward.
The support player tracks the ball carrier so they can be ready to take a pass or help the ball carrier if they are tackled.
Change the starting positions of the first ball carrier. You start by having one of the support players passing the ball and then following up in support.
Put a ruck-pad holder in the box. They run to one of the gates and the ball carrier has to drive into the pad and go to ground for the next support player to drive the pad out of the way.
Or have a defender, who can tackle at waist height, guarding the last two gates.
