Company Romeo sports trimmed hairpiece (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

troupe

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'company' is the definition.
(I know that company can be written as troupe)

'romeo sports trimmed hairpiece' is the wordplay.
'romeo sports' becomes 'tr' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'trimmed' says to take the centre (the external letters are trimmed from the word).
'hairpiece' becomes 'toupee' (toupee is a kind of hairpiece).
The central letters of 'toupee' are 'oupe'.
'tr'+'oupe'='TROUPE'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for troupe that I've seen before include "Our pet (anag) - company of performers" , "Travelling company of performers" , "Groupe of entertainers" , "Group of performers" , "Group of touring actors" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
