  1. What do the stars mean? I’m not a big crossword person so if that was providing a clue I didn’t get it

  2. 7:51. Great puzzle! I was stuck for about 2 minutes at the end bc i had the whole puzzle full but had the wrong letter at the end of 28a and had to find the mistake
    My only disappointment was that I completely filled 22d by solving the across words in that section so i didn’t get the satisfaction of figuring it out!! Great clue, i enjoyed noticing it afterwards

  3. As a former rugby player, I take issue with 5A! That’s not what its called!

    Otherwise love the puzzle and especially the theme as always 😘
