    Bullrush is a game typically played by children in an open area, where one player is chosen as the "bull" and tries to catch other players as they run across the field. Once caught, they also become "bulls" and help to catch the remaining players. In the context of sports like American football or rugby, a bullrush refers to a forceful, direct run, often involving pushing past defenders. In a different context, bullrush can also refer to a type of plant, often found in marshes, scientifically known as Typha. So, the definition of bullrush largely depends on the context in which it is being used.
