Game lord has no right to make money (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

rupee

'money' is the definition.
(currency of India)

'game lord has no right' is the wordplay.
'game' becomes 'ru' (rugby union).
'lord' becomes 'peer' (peer is a kind of lord).
'has no' indicates named letters should be taken away.
'right' becomes 'r' (common abbreviation).
'peer' with 'r' taken away is 'pee'.
'ru'+'pee'='RUPEE'

'to make' is the link.

(Other definitions for rupee that I've seen before include "little money abroad" , "11 [LOLLY] in Kerala" , "Currency of the subcontinent" , "Indian currency unit" , "Indian monetary unit" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
