Rugby forward finds bear in Nutwood (6)
I believe the answer is:
rupert
'bear in nutwood' is the definition.
'rupert' can be an answer for 'bear' (fictional bear Rupert the Bear). I am not certain of the 'in nutwood' bit.
'rugby forward' is the wordplay.
'rugby' becomes 'ru'.
'forward' becomes 'pert' (I've seen this before).
'ru'+'pert'='RUPERT'
'finds' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for rupert that I've seen before include "It's bought unseen (1,3,2,1,4)" , "Poet who wrote of ..." , "Boy" , "Cartoon strip bear" , "Comic strip bear" .)
