A rugby player touring Belgium and Britain (6)
I believe the answer is:
albion
'britain' is the definition.
(Albion is a literary term for Britain)
'a rugby player touring belgium' is the wordplay.
'rugby player' becomes 'lion' (the Lions, Great Britain's rugby league team).
'touring' means one lot of letters goes inside another (touring can mean going round).
'belgium' becomes 'B' (abbreviation for Belgium).
'lion' placed around 'b' is 'lbion'.
'a'+'lbion'='ALBION'
'and' is the link.
(Other definitions for albion that I've seen before include "country" , "Poetic name for old England" , "soccer team" , "Albino in old England" , "Old name for England, perhaps perfidious" .)
