Indian Players Have Some Serious Skills: Tim Walsh Backs Rugby Premier League To Shape India’s Olympic Dream
Rugby Premier League: Former Australian player-turned-head coach Tim Walsh, who led the Australian women’s rugby sevens team to a gold medal at the Rio Olympics in 2016, expressed strong belief in the transformative power of the Rugby Premier League (RPL) and is confident that the tournament’s structure, professionalism, and potential will propel Indian rugby towards greater heights.
Reflecting on his experience, Walsh, who is the head coach of Mumbai Dreamers, said, "So far it has been excellent for us. The environment is very welcoming and very professionally run. The training facilities are amazing, and we’re getting some great work under our belts to go and put on a show."
The RPL is the first-of-its-kind franchise tournament for Rugby Sevens. Speaking on the league’s unique format, Walsh reckoned that the environment is helping all the players evolve. "We get to share our knowledge and experience with each other and grow. Everyone here is going to grow as a player, a coach, and a person. It’s a privilege to be part of it."
