The pride of rugby? (5)
I believe the answer is:
lions
'the pride' is the definition.
(a pride is a group of lions)
'of rugby?' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'of' could be 'o' and 'o' is located in the answer.
The remaining letters 'lins' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for lions that I've seen before include "Roaring cats" , "Big cats" , "Wild cats" , "Beastly kings" , "Large carnivores" .)
