Current uprising is hard and ferocious (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

wolfish

'ferocious' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'current uprising is hard' is the wordplay.
'current' becomes 'flow' ('flow' can be a synonym of 'current'**).
'uprising' says the letters should be written in reverse.
'hard' becomes 'h'.
'flow' written backwards gives 'wolf'.
'wolf'+'is'+'h'='WOLFISH'

'and' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for wolfish that I've seen before include "Ravenous" , "like Lupus?" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
