The Rhino Jackal Ring is one of the most popular tackle technique tools in the game, trusted by coaches to improve contact accuracy while prioritising player safety. Designed to reinforce correct head and shoulder placement, it provides a clear, repeatable target for effective tackle and jackal training.

The ring design creates defined inside and outside contact zones, helping players understand body position, entry angle and timing. This allows realistic tackle scenarios without the need for repeated player-on-player contact, reducing impact load while maintaining high training standards.

Covered in durable PVC, the Jackal Ring stands up to intense, regular use and comes with a one-year guarantee for added confidence. Integrated ball straps encourage players to react quickly after contact, reinforcing the transition from tackle to jackal and ball contest.

Used across all levels of the game, the Rhino Jackal Ring supports safer contact training while sharpening breakdown technique and on-the-run tackling.

Why It’s Safer

The movement of the ring creates an inside and an outside of what is traditionally a static target. This movement allows the tackler to differentiate between the inside and outside of the bag, so they can get used to using the correct shoulder and head placement (on the inside of the target). This technique is very ‘rugby’ orientated approach which is typically proven to be safer and lead to less concussions than a ‘football’ style tackle.
