Retreat from an opinion or claim (4,4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

back down

(Other definitions for back down that I've seen before include "Give up claim or withdraw argument" , "Withdraw challenge" , "Withdraw argument in face of opposition" , "being in lower division once more?" , "Avoid a challenge - face up?" .)

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