Summary

Landlord John and Robin line up on the 22m line at The Moon Under Water. A voice cries "Crouch... bind... set... PINTS" before the two of them battle it out to gain control of the last pint of Guinness at The Moon Under Water. This isn't the usual way they decide who gets the final drink of the night; but it may come in very handy when this week's guest arrives. It's professional rugby union player and podcaster Joe Marler!

Joe is one of the most talented rugby players of his generation, representing England, the British & Irish Lions, Harlequins and Harlequins for close to 15 years. However, if there's one thing to match his rugby skills it's his pinting skills, and he heads to The Moon Under Water as someone who has immersed himself in the sport with possibly the biggest drinking culture out there. Thankfully, he's not about initiations and dirty pints; he'd much rather settle down in a quiet corner and watch the night pass by... much to the delight of John and Robin.
