In a scrum, I am shown to be unmanly (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

womanish

'be unmanly' is the definition.
('womanish' can be similar in meaning to 'unmanly')

'in a scrum i am shown' is the wordplay.
'in a scrum' indicates anagramming the letters.
'i'+'am'+'shown'='iamshown'
'iamshown' anagrammed gives 'WOMANISH'.

'to' acts as a link.

(Another definition for womanish that I've seen is " Having feminine features".)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
