Silver Fern Low Weighted Tackle Bag – 17kgs
The Silver Fern low weighted tackle bag (17kg) is a rugby training contact bag designed for tackling, ruck entry, and contact drills. It’s suited to rugby league and rugby union players at school, club, and development level who need a stable, realistic target for safe contact practice. Used on grass training fields, it helps players build proper tackle technique without taking unnecessary risk.
Built for Safe, Repetitive Contact Work
This low tackle bag sits close to the ground, making it ideal for practising body position, shoulder contact, and driving through tackles. It helps players learn how to stay low and controlled, which translates directly into better technique in match situations.
At 17kg, it has enough weight to stay grounded during contact but is still manageable for coaches moving between drills. That balance is important for running efficient training sessions without constant reset time.
Durable Design for Regular Training
Made from heavy duty PVC with high density foam, this tackle bag is built for consistent use across a full season. It holds shape under repeated impact, which is important when multiple players are working through contact circuits.
The low profile design (76cm high) encourages correct tackle height and reduces upright contact habits. That makes it a useful tool for junior development and senior refresher sessions alike.
