Crossword Genius

Comes down to the country on Sunday (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

lands

'comes' is the definition.
(landing is a kind of coming)

'the country on sunday' is the wordplay.
'the country' becomes 'land' (synonyms).
'on' means one lot of letters go next to another (in a down clue, letters appear on others).
'sunday' becomes 's'.
'land'+'s'='LANDS'

'down to' is the link.

(Other definitions for lands that I've seen before include "See 21" , "Obtains" , "Alights" , "Comes ashore" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
