New Delhi. The first rugby Premier League (RPL) will be held in Mumbai from June 15 in which six franchise teams will participate. The organizers of this league gave this information on Thursday. Satyam Trivedi, the CEO of GMR Sports and promoter of this competition, said that the league will be held from 15 to 29 June at Mumbai Football Arena in Andheri, Mumbai.
The format of this league will be rugby 7, which is recognized as an Olympic game. Unlike the traditional rugby union format, there are seven players of each team on the ground in the rugby 7 format and there are two half -half of seven minutes. In the traditional format, one team consists of 15 players and two halfs of 20-20 minutes are played.
However, keeping in mind the TV audience in RPL, it has been made four minutes of four minutes and there will be a two -minute break between each quarter. Trivedi said, “This is a small format and we feel that it works very well because the audience likes to see the small format.”
