Backside converted poor tries (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

posterior

'backside' is the definition.
(I know that backside can be written as posterior)

'converted poor tries' is the wordplay.
'converted' indicates an anagram.
'poor'+'tries'='poortries'
'poortries' anagrammed gives 'POSTERIOR'.

(Other definitions for posterior that I've seen before include "Behind" , "later" , "Rear" , "Backside" , "Further back; bottom" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
