These knickers are rubbish! (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

pants

This clue is a double definition.

'these knickers' is the first definition.
(synonyms)

'rubbish' is the second definition.
(informal term meaning poor-quality)

'are' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for pants that I've seen before include "Undergarments; rubbish" , "Breathes heavily in trousers" , "Garment; rubbish" , "awful according to modern youngsters" , "See 17" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
