Opposition by contrary proof (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

rebuttal

(Other definitions for rebuttal that I've seen before include "Answer" , "resistance to attack" , "statement delivered to counter" , "Counter-argument" , "Counter-statement" .)

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