Round 15 of the AFL rolled through like a weekend hangover you swear you didn’t earn. Upsets that made no sense, goal fests that felt personal and a few “how did that even happen?” moments that had us questioning reality. 🏈😜
If your tips are still alive… congratulations, you’re either a genius or lying. Either way, we’ll see you this week for Round 16 therapy. 🍻

The only thing more stacked than our burgers is our sporting schedule. 🍔🤩 We're talking World Cup action wedged between wall-to-wall AFL, with enough live sport to make your couch wonder where you've gone. One minute you're cheering on the Socceroos, the next you're arguing over a holding-the-ball decision with a bloke you've never met.
Throw in ice-cold beers, match-day feeds and every game LIVE & LOUD, and you've got yourself a schedule busier than your excuses for not being home.

We've said it once and we'll say it again... there is no better place to watch the World Cup LIVE & LOUD. We're opening early more times this week than we'd care to admit, all in the name of soccer and questionable sleep schedules. 😴🍻
This Friday, the Socceroos kick off from 12pm, so if you've been saving a "mystery illness" for a special occasion, now might be the time to dust it off. Grab a match-day share board, make the most of our drink specials and buy any food item for your chance to score some Socceroos merch. ⚽😍
So start practising that cough, perfecting that limp or scheduling a very important "appointment". Whatever excuse gets you here, we'll handle the soccer. 😆

If State of Origin and the World Cup haven't already filled your calendar to the brim, start finding an excuse to tell your other half you're busy because AFL is still hanging around like an ex that just won't take the hint. 😏🏈
Every round brings another blockbuster, another upset and another reason to park yourself in front of the big screen with a cold one in hand. Lucky for you, we've got every game live and loud, plenty of pub classics and enough sport to make your social calendar completely unavailable until further notice. 🍻

The World Cup waits four years for no one, and neither should you. Ruck & Rover is showing all the action live and loud, including England v Croatia from 6am this Thursday and our Socceroos taking on the USA from 5am this Saturday. ⚽🤩
We'll have your favourite breakfast classics ready to fuel the early start and on Saturday, every food purchase puts you in the running to score some Socceroos merch. Alarm clocks are temporary. World Cup memories are forever. 🍻

Funny how every Aussie becomes a rugby league expert three times a year. 😆 State of Origin is back live and loud from 8:05pm tomorrow. And if our 400g Parma doesn't quite do the trick, the Match Day Share board is ready to start arguments over who gets the last slider long before the referee does. 🍔🍻

If we couldn’t be any nicer to ya… we’ve only gone and done it again. 🍻
Say hello to our new drink specials designed to turn any frown upside down. Think ice-cold beers, crisp cider, Jameson and rosé - something for everyone and exactly what you need to be the legend of that table.
*Ruck & Rover practices the responsible service of alcohol. While stocks last!

A perfectly poured beer and a week full of AFL? That's what we call good decision making. 🍺🏉
The season's heating up, the big games keep coming, and we've got every tackle, hanger and controversial free kick live on the big screens.
Get the mates together, claim your spot and let the footy do the talking.

The World Cup is finally back, which means it's time to spend the next month yelling at the TV, questioning referee decisions and becoming an overnight football expert. ⚽🍻

We all have those mates… the second the karaage chicken hits the table, it suddenly becomes the only plate in the whole pub and every man (and his empty wallet) is reaching in. 🙄
We’d love to tell you you’ll get more than one piece… but with karaage chicken this irresistible, your mates instantly turn into a flock of seagulls with no ball knowledge and zero self-control. 🍗🏉
