Like the country’s really regularly pursuing game (5)
I believe the answer is:
rural
'like the country's' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.
'really regularly pursuing game' is the wordplay.
'regularly' means one should take alternating letters (regularly take one letter, leave next etc.).
'pursuing' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'game' becomes 'ru' (rugby union).
The alternating letters of 'really' are 'ral'.
'ral' put after 'ru' is 'RURAL'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for rural that I've seen before include "covering the country" , "Countrylike" , "Arcadian" , "outside the city?" , "Sort of dean" .)
