Ugh, I'm always up first when SMing
Rugby (3) might work for Tag, London and Ball
Blitz (2) could work for London and War, and is better than Rugby (3)
Blitz (2) could clue Europe though
Bankers (3) should work for London, Tie, Pound and is better than anything else
Let's see where it goes

Crap, he's not seeing London or Tie, and I didn't see Change or Diamond
Ugh, and now he's thinking about Diamond and Charge

CHANGE, WAKE, POST, HEART, DIAMOND, PLASTIC, EUROPE, BACK.

"autopsy" = WAKE, HEART, POST

"surgery" - CHANGE, PLASTIC, HEART, BACK, POST?, WAKE?

LONDON interferes a bit with EUROPE + DIAMOND, making cluing e.g. "Queen" a bit risky. Would "crown jewels" be a valid clue? I'll check if it comes to that.

In the meantime, I like "surgery (6)". That'd be a nice first clue. FACE is yellow, but that's okay.

...Blue's clue doesn't make much sense to me. Looks rather likely to hit some red words instead. Hmm. Let's see how that works out for them.
