Silver Fern Tackle Mat Cover for Goal Post Pads
*Please note this doesn't include the pads, it's just the cover.
The Silver Fern tackle mat cover for goal post pads is a rugby training cover designed to turn standard goal post pads into a safe contact surface. It’s suited to clubs, schools, and teams running tackle drills on field. If you’re working close contact around the posts, this helps manage impact and protect players.
Practical Contact Training Setup
This tackle mat cover fits over four senior goal post pads to create a wider, more forgiving target area for tackling drills. It’s useful for controlled contact sessions where players are practising technique, body position, and confidence in the tackle.
By covering the posts, you reduce the risk of direct contact with hard surfaces. That matters during repetitive drills, especially with junior players or during early season build up when bodies are adjusting to contact again.
Fit and Use
The sizing is designed to match standard senior goal post pads. Once fitted, it stays in place and creates a consistent training surface session to session. Best used on grass rugby fields where posts are already padded.
