The foreigners send a replacement (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

danes

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'the foreigners' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both people as well as being plural nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'send a replacement' is the wordplay.
'replacement' indicates an anagram.
'send'+'a'='senda'
'senda' with letters rearranged gives 'DANES'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for danes that I've seen before include "Vikings" , "Europeans who inhabit Andes" , "E.g. Hamlet and Canute" , "Sedan (anag.)" , "Natives of, eg, Copenhagen" .)
