In an otherwise very simple puzzle, I can't see why my answer to 22d is correct. Can s'one perhaps give a HINT without the solution itself? Clue is:
3.15 (6 letters)
I won't even give the crossers. It has nothing to do with the answers numbered 3 & 15 in the puzzle.
Perhaps some clever mathematician can parse it nevertheless??!! I repeat, only a HINT please!!!

I answered on AB- I took it to be a refence to rugby union team as in not the first fifteen

Sorry reference

That did occur to me, Daniel. Thank you for the confirmation!

Finished this today in, for me, record time but can't work out in 10ac where letters 1-4 and 7-9 come from. My answer seems to fit OK.

Thanks to Daniel as usual.

I took it to be half as in partial rather than exactly half of an answer

For 22d I went for a slightly different justification - I think the 3.15 is reference to the answers at both 3 and 15 with 22 being an example of both.

For 10, as indicated earlier, I believe we're supposed to read the BR and ER together - each being one-half of the relative.

Thanks Daniel and deepwater. I also thought 22dn was to do with 3 and 15 but then I know nothing about rugby.
