Outcry where university rower embraces priest (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

uproar

'outcry' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'university rower embraces priest' is the wordplay.
'university' becomes 'u'.
'rower' becomes 'oar' (I've seen this before).
'embraces' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'priest' becomes 'pr'.
'u'+'oar'='uoar'
'uoar' going around 'pr' is 'UPROAR'.

'where' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for uproar that I've seen before include "Violent eruption of noise and anger" , "Tumult and bedlam" , "State of commotion or loud disturbance" , "Hoo-ha" , "Loud noise and commotion" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
