One of the Olympians, Aaron Cummings, who plays for Mumbai Dreamers, believes that the league has the potential to change the landscape of Rugby 7s.<p>Further elaborating on how the format of the league sets it apart, the 27-year-old said, \"This is something new, something exciting and I think the RPL might change the landscape of Sevens, with the way they are approaching it.\"<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>\"It\u2019s just different. It\u2019s more high-intensity. You see more high-impact collisions on the field. Usually, after four minutes or so, everyone gets tired, and the game gets a little bit slower. But with it just being four minutes a quarter here, you can keep that high intensity and high impact scoring. So, I think this is special,\" he added.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Cummings also shared that the proactive format of the RPL would capture the imagination of the fans back in his home country. \"The RPL, with the model that it has, I think this would be attractive to the American public just because it is kind of similar to (American) football with the quarters. I feel the crowd in the USA would get behind that,\" he reckoned.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Speaking about how his experience at the RPL has been so far, Cummings said, \"My experience has been great. The league has taken great care of us. The Dreamers franchise and Dream 11 has been over the top. It\u2019s been great.\"<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Talking about how he\u2019s relishing the experience of playing in India, he added, \u201cI\u2019m trying to inspire and teach, but I\u2019m also trying to learn the things maybe I don\u2019t know. I\u2019ve been saying how the RPL has sparked a fire back under me, as far as the excitement and reminding me of the reason why I play the game. It\u2019s been huge since I\u2019ve been here.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>RPL is the first-ever franchise tournament in rugby sevens, offering a unique opportunity for the sport to grow in India. Opening up about how this league will have an impact, especially in India, Cummings is convinced that the game will grow exponentially.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>\"I think it\u2019s huge, especially for India. I\u2019m sure you can find 13-14 players who can be elite at the sport, if not more. I think this league will grow the game exponentially because of the format it is played in, with the four quarters.\"<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>RPL is the first-ever franchise tournament in rugby sevens, offering a unique opportunity for the sport to grow in India.
