Gives a summary concerning international appearances (6)
I believe the answer is:
recaps
'gives' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both to do with communicating as well as being verbs in their -s form.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'a summary concerning international appearances' is the wordplay.
'a summary' becomes 'recap' (recap is a kind of summary).
'concerning international appearances' becomes 's' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'recap'+'s'='RECAPS'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for recaps that I've seen before include "Summarises briefly" , "Such summaries" , "Summarises at the end" , "In brief, state again the main points" , "Reviews" .)
