Aw ,go on , speculate. Can’t leave it like that.
That's the trouble with social media. It's full of conspiracy theorists speculating on things based on incomplete facts and filling in the gaps with negative assumptions.
So Rob played well and was missing from the 23 for the next 2 weeks. No announcement why. Then he's back and plays well again. Scores a try and does a baby cradling celebration a la Bassett.
After that he posts announcement of the birth of his daughter a week or 2 earlier. My question is why did he not post as soon as she was born? Maybe he wanted immediate privacy (there are no known facts regarding the circumstances of the birth) but he let the cat out of the bag with the try celebration.
Since he was picked to start the last match and his daughter was born between then and his previous match I don't think anyone can conclude there is a rugby related reason for this unless more concrete facts are known.
Won't stop people trying though.
