Juliet gets six-pack of needles (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

jabs

'needles' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'juliet gets six-pack' is the wordplay.
'juliet' becomes 'J' (phonetic alphabet: alpha, bravo, charlie etc.).
'gets' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'six-pack' becomes 'abs' (short for abdominal muscles).
'j'+'abs'='JABS'

'of' is the link.

(Another definition for jabs that I've seen is " Prods".)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
