I hope you are right.....


Anyway I'm hoping we beat you on quality of play rather than penalty count. This Ireland team can score tries and I think it will be close. England slight favourites but most of their recent successes have been at home of rugby, this will be a big test. If they come through then Lancaster is likely a force to be reckoned with. But Martin Johnson came to Dublin two years ago intending to rubber stamp a grand slam and that England team got a bit of a wake up call, not sure we can do the same without O'Connell but will be a test for England none the less. Their win over Scotland looks good after their win over Italy yesterday though so I'm not particularly confident. We need strong start today.

Interesting stat shows starting teams pack weights only 5kgs in England's favour. However if/when they introduce their subs that could extend the difference to 64kgs. I don't like the sound of that as there are wet conditions and the pitch isn't great. Backs less likely to see the ball where I think Ireland has the advantage, whereas if it becomes a forward battle that extra weight could give England a big advantage in the last 20 minutes. That's my theory anyway but hoping to be wrong.

It certainly wasn't a spectacle, it'd be tough to produce pretty rugby in those conditions, but it was most certainly an exciting game.

Quite nice to get bragging rights in casa pibe, a rarity over the last ten years, especially as la piba was away last year and wouldn't answer the phone.

    • We've been using Modern Milkman for six months or so.  Good and reliable service and intuitive website  
    • The receptionist did request a phone call and there was an issue where seeing the symptoms would have been helpful , plus I had questions I wanted to ask - but I just got a text with very generic advice (e.g. if X happens, go to A&E).  You can definitely request routine appointments by phone. Perhaps it's at the doctor's discretion with same day ones.  Having said all that, I think it's a pretty good surgery compared to some.
    • I recommend Andy—he was punctual, tidy, resourceful, clear about timing and pricing, and did quality work at relatively short notice. I would use his services again and have already recommended him to friends.
    • You can still  request a phone appointment with a doctor, I think, if it's an issue you need to ask questions about? Or, I have had questions quickly answered by a GP  via their online system. Hopefully all this is teething problems, and the staff as well as patients are having to get to grips with a relatively new system. I can fully understand that it is much better all round if GP face to face appointments are saved for things that need a physical examination, and it must mean that patients who do need one  are seen more quickly than under the old system?
