'are rovers' is the definition.
The answer and definition are not the same part of speech. However, adjectives and past participle verbs occasionally define each other.

'under pressure in such a tournament?' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'pressure' could be 'p' (abbreviation) and 'p' is present in the answer.
'a' is within the answer.
The remaining letters 'rom' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
