I’d echo the first post.

For 16, I don’t follow case as meaning extremes or ends of, had it been some use of encase then maybe
Ditto for 15, stop as insert

3 was too complicated for here. Fair enough in general, but I only got it as the only monk that fitted

Thanks Orlando and scchua for an excellent blog.

Forgot the sic=just so (again!) Took surprisingly long to get ARMY as I assumed regular soldiers was ‘or.’ By coincidence, TACIT was clued in the Rufus, too. Tom Cruise as a COSTUMIER gives a smile.

Thank you, scchua, for a fine blog, which I’m sure will be appreciated today.

I thought this was a very enjoyable puzzle from Orlando, with some clever clueing, which in one or two places like NINNY and CISTERCIAN was perhaps too sophisticated for a Quiptic.

My favourite was SODOM too. In 5dn, I took the ‘starts’ part of the clue to indicate the first two letters of Special Constable, but I guess it works either way.

Cricket is never tame, by the way. Golf, yes, but cricket, never.
