Answer: SCRUMP
Explanation: Definition: Get the fruit of another's labour
A charade of SCRUM ('a feature of 22 down 26's game' – 22D,26 being the Rugby player BARRY JOHN) plus P ('**P**lan initially'). To scrump originally meant to pick up windfall apples (scrumpy is coarse cider – for US followers, read hard cider) but is often used for behaving like Autolycus, "a snapper-up of unconsidered trifles".
