scrummaging
Rugby pack struggle
Scrummaging is the act of forming or engaging in a scrum—the tight, crouching formation in rugby where opposing forwards bind together and push against each other to contest possession of the ball.
The word also applies to the techniques and skills involved: The team spent hours practicing their scrummaging.
Figuratively, scrummaging can describe any shoving, jostling struggle for position or advantage.
