British XI in France getting third medal? (6)
I believe the answer is:
bronze
'third medal?' is the definition.
'bronze' can be an answer for 'medal?' (eg at the Olympics). I am not certain of the 'third' bit.
'british xi in france' is the wordplay.
'british' becomes 'br' (abbreviation for British).
'xi in france' becomes 'onze' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'br'+'onze'='BRONZE'
'getting' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for bronze that I've seen before include "Third prize" , "Get a tan" , "Third place medal" , "Third place - alloy" , "Copper-tin alloy" .)
