The moment has arrived where winger tackles relative after greeting (4,2,2)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

this is it

'the moment has arrived' is the definition.
(phrase said at a significant moment)

'winger tackles relative after greeting' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'relative' could be 'sis' (short for sister) and 'sis' is found in the answer.
'greeting' could be 'hi' (hi is a kind of greeting) and 'hi' is found within the answer.
'winger' could be 'tit' (tit is a kind of bird) and 'tit' is present in the remaining letters.
No letters remain.
This may be the basis of clue (or it may be nonsense).

'where' is the link.

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
