Rowing crew (5)

Ross

I think it could be either:

eight

sweep

<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">rowing crew</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(a crew of eight rowers is called an 'eight')</span><br/ ><br/ >This is all the clue.<br/ ></span>

(Other definitions for eight that I've seen before include "Number in octet" , "Set of rowers" , "Cardinal number" , "Hit, e.g. (anag.)" , "Number; rowing boat" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph, The Independent, The Guardian, the Sydney Morning Herald and the Evening Standard.
