Important match for the Lions, say (3,4)
I believe the answer is:
big game
This might be a double definition.
'important match' is the first definition.
(a big sports game)
'lions say' is the second definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I don't see how they can define each other.
'for the' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for big game that I've seen before include "Significant match" , "The larger animals once hunted for sport" , "Important match" , "for those after a trophy?" , "Cup Final perhaps" .)
