TV men rehearsed moves for play? (3,6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

set pieces

'rehearsed moves for play?' is the definition.
(eg a set piece in football)

'tv men' is the wordplay.
'tv' becomes 'set' (television set).
'men' becomes 'pieces' ('piece' can be a synonym of 'man').
'set'+'pieces'='SET PIECES'

(Other definitions for set pieces that I've seen before include "bishops and others?" , "all 32 on board?" , "Practised manoeuvres" , "men on chess board?" , "Well-practised moves" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
