All round, they're boozy little brothers (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

orbs

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'boozy little brothers' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are plural nouns, I don't understand how one could define the other.

'all round' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'round' could be 'o' (round can mean a round object) and 'o' is present in the answer.
The remaining letters 'rbs' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

'they're' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?
