Hurry with small beer for rugby player (3,4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

fly half

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

'hurry with small beer' is the wordplay.
'hurry' becomes 'fly' (I've seen this before).
'with' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'small beer' becomes 'half'.
'fly'+'half'='FLY-HALF'

'for' is the link.

(Other definitions for fly half that I've seen before include "eg Jonny Wilkinson" , "Rugby position" , "Footballer" , "Rugby player" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
