Gilbert Multi-Skills Tackle Bag – Breakdown, Jackal & Tackle Training Aid – Senior/Junior

Developed with Richie Gray – Built for Modern Breakdown Training

The Gilbert Multi-Skills Tackle Bag was created in collaboration with specialist breakdown and international coach Richie Gray. This innovative training tool allows players to work on tackling, jackal skills, clear-out technique and turnover decision-making in a realistic, safe and repeatable way.

Versatile Training for Every Phase of Contact

The angled sections and grip-targets on the bag allow coaches to create multiple contact scenarios, including:

• Low, mid and chest tackles
• Single and double-jackal entries
• Clear-out accuracy (low-to-high strike)
• Jackal & clean progression
• Shoulder battles and body-height control
• Tackle → recover → jackal sequences
• Tackle & crawl / movement under pressure
• Contestable kick turnovers (2-player sequence)

This makes the Multi-Skills Bag one of the most complete breakdown training tools available.

Realistic, Game-Like Movement Patterns

Players can practise:

• Body height and hip sinking
• “Same foot, same shoulder” contact mechanics
• Arm wrap, grip and chase-the-feet follow-through
• Re-shaping body position in contact
• Recovering to feet quickly after a tackle
• Maintaining a flat back, strong base and square hips

Coaches can vary angles, heights and speeds to constantly challenge the athlete's decision-making.

Ideal for One-Player or Multi-Player Drills

Use the bag for:

• 1-player jackal drills
• 1-player jackal & clean progression
• 2-player double jackal
• 2-player or 3-player pressure drills
• Team defensive phase play simulations

The Multi-Skills Bag allows controlled chaos — essential for realistic breakdown training.
