Find a way around team on stage (8)
I believe the answer is:
sidestep
'find a way around' is the definition.
(to sidestep something is to bypass or avoid it)
'team on stage' is the wordplay.
'team' becomes 'side' (both can mean a sports team).
'on' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'stage' becomes 'step' (I've seen this before).
'side'+'step'='SIDESTEP'
(Other definitions for sidestep that I've seen before include "To avoid" , "Find a way round" , "Dodge (an issue?)" , "Dodge - circumvent" , "Shift to right or left" .)
