Unruly bore postures wildly (12)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

obstreperous

'unruly' is the definition.
(synonyms)

'bore postures wildly' is the wordplay.
'wildly' indicates anagramming the letters.
'bore'+'postures'='borepostures'
'borepostures' with letters rearranged gives 'OBSTREPEROUS'.

(Other definitions for obstreperous that I've seen before include "Noisily aggressive" , "Noisily defiant" , "Sober posture (anag) - unruly" , "Bolshie" , "Noisy, hard to control" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
