Homeless girl gets home in Rugby maybe (6)
I believe the answer is:
gamine
'homeless girl' is the definition.
(gamine can mean a female urchin)
'home in rugby maybe' is the wordplay.
'home' becomes 'in' ('he's home' can mean 'he's in').
'in' indicates putting letters inside.
'rugby maybe' becomes 'game' (rugby is a game).
'in' placed inside 'game' is 'GAMINE'.
'gets' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for gamine that I've seen before include "Tomboy" , "petite French girl?" , "Boyish girl" , "A girl with mischievous charm" .)
