Figures in rugby (6)
I believe the answer is:
sevens
This could be a double definition.
'figures' is the first definition.
The definition and answer can be both quantities as well as being plural nouns.
Maybe there's a link between them I don't understand?
'rugby' is the second definition.
(I've seen this before)
'in' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for sevens that I've seen before include "Numbers" , "77" , "cards!" , "Form of Rugby Union" , "Card game; form of rugby" .)
