Then it works.

I guessed at SINICISM, but discounted it at first, thinking the I in sin- would be long, as in SINOLOGY… but Pasquale is right, of course.
Re 3 across, I read it as referring to a quiver being normally open at the top for easy access, so the flights of the arrows are uncovered.
The first definition of ‘supergrasses’ seems a little strained… I suppose one’s lawn might be spoilt by daisies (though I think they look quite nice on mine) but is a super lawn any more susceptible than a common or garden lawn?
Good stuff though.
