Crossword Genius

Secure player in a pack (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

lock

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'secure' is the first definition.
(locking is a kind of securing)

'player in a pack' is the second definition.
(rugby)

(Other definitions for lock that I've seen before include "Stop moving" , "forward" , "A little hair" , "Security device - tuft of hair" , "Clasp" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
