Herculis

[sarumite]

Whilst I don't usually bother to check the solutions to crosswords, the following answer caught my eye today in respect of last weeks Herculis puzzle.
I can't remember the precise clue, but it referred to rugby terminology for a high kick ahead.
The answer was given as "Up-and-over" (a new one on me), I put "Up-and-under" which is commonly used in rugby union. I have not come across the answer given .. can anybody please enlighten me??

I have always thought it was 'Up and under' but even so the one answer is 5 letters and the other 4 ?

[EastEndMick]

Sarumite, you are clearly right. The clue was shown as (10) letters and could only be 'Up- and- under'.

[sarumite]

K .. It is !! .. am I hallucinating ?? ... I really can't remember entering Up and over!

[sarumite]

Many thanks EastEndMick .. I thought for a moment I had lost the plot!

Nobody will have sent in a grid with a blank square, so how can they find a winner?

[sarumite]

Aquagility, I imagine that for some reason the wrong solution has been printed.

I still have the copy of the grid and answers 4d was Flunkey giving the -U- of under - So it must be a misprint.

[sarumite]

Thanks Jools.

'Up and Over' will not fit with 'Nidd' either. It had to be 'Up and Under'

[POINCIANA]

Furthermore they have printed the name of last week's winner - Ronald LEASK- of Edinbourgh. I wponder what he put for this answer?!

[sarumite]

Yes, interesting, must simply be a misprint in today's paper!

[sincnoel]

sarumite, let's hope this is not the start of something bad ...

three weeks to the super 14!

Please, someone, kindly tell me what is the "big 14" which keeps appearing on this site. I guess it's been explained in a previous post but I seem to have missed it, so would be grateful for some clarification. Thanks!

The Super 14 is a Southern hemisphere rugby tournament porilo, similar to our own six nations ....
