Wild blow leads to dispute with non-intellectual (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

lowbrow

'non-intellectual' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'wild blow leads to dispute' is the wordplay.
'wild' is an anagram indicator.
'leads' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'to dispute' becomes 'row' (I've seen this before).
'blow' is an anagram of 'lowb'.
'lowb'+'row'='LOWBROW'

'with' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for lowbrow that I've seen before include "Undemanding (entertainment)" , "Hard mass in wood, shore bird" , "(Person) uninterested in intellectual pursuits" , "Not highly (or pretentiously) cultured" , "One preferring pop to classical" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
