Rugby player from Falmouth carelessly knocking out male (3-4)
I believe the answer is:
out-half
'rugby player' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'from falmouth carelessly knocking out male' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'from' could be 'o' (I've seen this in other clues) and 'o' is found within the answer.
'male' could be 'al' (shortened version of Alex or Alistair) and 'al' is found within the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for out-half that I've seen is " rugby player".)
