Rugby forward caught naked in daily strip (6,4)
I believe the answer is:
rupert bear
'daily strip' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I can't tell whether it can be defined by this definition.
'rugby forward caught naked' is the wordplay.
'rugby' becomes 'RU'.
'forward' becomes 'pert' (both can mean cheeky or disrespectful).
'caught' shows a homophone (sound like) (heard).
'naked' becomes 'bare' (without clothing).
'bare' sounds like 'bear'.
'ru'+'pert'+'bear'='RUPERT BEAR'
'in' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for rupert bear that I've seen before include "character wearing check trousers" , "Children's comic strip character, going strong since 1920" , "Ursine comic hero" , "Cartoon character" , "Cuddly character" .)
