Urge able guy to give up sport? (5,6)
I believe the answer is:
rugby league
'up sport?' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.
'urge able guy to give' is the wordplay.
'to give' is an anagram indicator (I've seen 'giving' mean this (the letters give the letters for another word)).
'urge'+'able'+'guy'='urgeableguy'
'urgeableguy' anagrammed gives 'RUGBY LEAGUE'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for rugby league that I've seen before include "Thirteen-a-side game" , "In professional game" , "13-a-side game" , "Football game for 13 players" , "game for twenty-six players" .)
