Country game with good person in charge (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

rustic

'country' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'game with good person in charge' is the wordplay.
'game' becomes 'ru' (rugby union).
'with' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'good person' becomes 'st' (saint).
'in charge' becomes 'ic'.
'ru'+'st'+'ic'='RUSTIC'

(Other definitions for rustic that I've seen before include "Of the countryside and country folk" , "Country bumpkin" , "A yokel" , "Simple and unsophisticated as of the countryside" , "Characteristic of the countryside" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
