heh. I suppose if you're a MAME Dev you can do whatever you want
But can you make it a clone (as in normal MAME parent-clone relationship terms) when the ROMs are the same and the only difference is the artwork?
Wouldn't it make more sense to just make the "Rugby" artwork selectable from the OSD? Like with Space Invaders for example, which has a couple of different sets of artwork.
