Loose scrum (4)

Ross

I think it could be either:

maul

ruck

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

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for maul that I've seen before include "Mangle; ruck" , "Tear at a person or animal" , "Savage" , "Manhandle" , "Injure with claws" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard, The Independent, The Mirror and The Sun.
