What an Aussie might play for us poms? (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

possum

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'what an aussie might play' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.

'us poms?' is the wordplay.
'us poms' anagrams to 'POSSUM'.
Though, I'm unsure how this is indicated.

'for' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for possum that I've seen before include "Small animal with a pouch" , "Play -- (pretend to be dead)" , "Thick-furred marsupial" , "The Australasian phalanger" , "Play it to pretend to be asleep" .)
