'Struggled to sleep' - Jacob gets Lee's backing after shaky Sale showing.

Bobby Bridge reports:

I particularly like the final paragraph in the report.

Sounds like Jacob will be starting against Bath. I guess we'll find out on Sunday.

Good news. Both in being picked and caring so much.

I guess we'll find out in about an hour.

Will we?  Was wondering that this morning.  Saturday/Sunday teams are always announced as noon on Friday, but we're in uncharted waters with this Bank Holiday Monday game.  Team may not be announced until Sunday.

I guess we'll find out in about 40 minutes!

Bobby now tweets that the team announcement will be on Sunday and not today as he said previously. Will correct my original post.

The sort of thing I'd expect from Umaga. At 22 he'll be having more than a few dodgy games to come. It's more important that he's the type to learn from them which I think he is. He should definitely start against Bath and my bet is he'll have a good game.

I have to applaud Blacketts comment that he'd rather Umaga went for and missed the odd touch finder (going for a 5 mtr lineout) than playing it safe and kicking it out on the 22 yard line.
