Shahaji Raje Bhosale Sports Complex: With six wins from seven games, Hyderabad Heroes have become the first team to make the semifinals of the inaugural season of the Rugby Premier League (RPL), and head coach DJ Forbes said they have achieved their first goal.

The Hyderabad Heroes produced a scintillating display of rugby, as they went back to the top of the points table, after swatting aside the challenge of the Chennai Bulls by a scoreline of 28-7 at the Shahaji Raje Bhosale Sports Complex (Andheri Sports Complex), here on Monday.

“It’s exciting, that’s the first goal for any team to make the playoffs. It’s great that we’ve done it early in the league stage, and hopefully, people have seen that we have tried to manage some people and give all players the opportunity to prepare as best we can. For now, it’s great to be winning, but it’s all about preserving all the players as much as we can and then see what combinations are going to work for us in the semi-finals," said DJ Forbes, head coach of Hyderabad Heroes, on the qualification.
