Team game played with an oval ball (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

rugby

(Other definitions for rugby that I've seen before include "English city; game" , "Midlands town" , "Famous public school" , "Public school founded in 1567" , "Fifteen-a-side sport -- Olympic event in 1900, 1908, 1920 and 1924" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
