Try equipment (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tackle

This clue is a double definition.

'try' is the first definition.

'equipment' is the second definition.
(tackle is a kind of equipment)

(Other definitions for tackle that I've seen before include "Take on as in rugby" , "A rugby interception" , "Take on; rigging" , "Grab" , "Deal with; equipment" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
