rush hour

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'busy time' is the definition.
'rush hour' can be an answer for 'time' (rush hour is a kind of time). I'm not certain of the 'busy' bit.

'game's doubly hard for us' is the wordplay.
'game's' becomes 'RU's' (rugby union).
'doubly' indicates the doubling of some letters.
'hard' becomes 'h' (abbreviation used in pencil classifications).
'for us' becomes 'our' ('our' means belonging to us).
'h' duplicated is 'hh'.
'rus'+'hh'+'our'='RUSH-HOUR'

'in' is the link.
