Tackle bag has very little resemblence to tackling an actual person, whereas a player in a tackle suit does. I refuse point blank to use tackle bags with my players, and grudgingly use bosh pads for some practices i.e. rucking.....

Always use a tackle suit for there adherence to game sense practice, and they are actually cheaper than the tackle bags and pads too
