Pair of wrestlers, game couple (3,4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tag team

'pair of wrestlers' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'game couple' is the wordplay.
'game' becomes 'tag' (I've seen this before).
'couple' becomes 'team'.
'tag'+'team'='TAG TEAM'

(Other definitions for tag team that I've seen before include "Pair of wrestlers fighting together" , "Pair of co-operating wrestlers" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times and The Telegraph.
