Early life and rugby
Cummins was born in Sydney and attended The Hills Sports High, captaining their first XV in 2010.[3] He was also named captain of the New South Wales All Schools team in the same year, as well as the Australian Schoolboy team.
In 2011, Cummins captained the Australia Under-19 side and he was a member of the Australia Under-20 team that played at the 2012 IRB Junior World Championship.[4]
Cummins played in the Shute Shield competition with Eastwood, impressing coach John Manenti, who said:[5]
Steve Cummins has established himself as a real hard worker with huge involvements at the tackle and breakdown areas.
In 2013, Cummins played for the Sydney-based Super Rugby franchise side the Waratahs' emerging side, Gen Blue in the Pacific Rugby Cup.[6]
Rugby career
Eastern Province Kings
On 3 June 2014, the Eastern Province Kings announced Cummins as one of three new signings prior to the 2014 Currie Cup Premier Division season.[7] He joined them on a short-term contract for the remainder of 2014.
Two days later, Cummins was selected on the bench for the Eastern Province Kings side to face Wales during a tour match during a 2014 incoming tour. He came on as a late substitute, playing the last six minutes as the Kings suffered a 12–34 defeat.[8]
Cummins started the opening match of the Currie Cup season, but was on the losing side as Western Province secured a 35–16 victory.[9] He played in the first three matches of the season, as well as in the final four matches, including their match against the Pumas in the final round of the competition, where the Kings secured their only victory after nine successive defeats, beating the Pumas 26–25.
Cummins made a total of eight appearances in Eastern Province Kings colours during his short spell in Port Elizabeth.
Melbourne Rebels
On the same day that Cummins was announced as an EP Kings player, the Rebels also announced that Cummins signed a contract to join them as an Extended Playing Squad (EPS) member for the 2015 Super Rugby season.[10] In early 2015, it was announced that Cummins had re-signed with the Melbourne Rebels for a further two years
Scarlets
Cummins signed with Welsh team Scarlets in November 2017.[2]
