RUGBY UNION Warren Gatland admits the British and Irish Lions will face up to 10 weeks in their bubble environment if they are forced to quarantine on their return from South Africa.
The Lions are seeking elite sport exemption to avoid having to spend 11 nights in a Government-approved hotel on arrival at Heathrow - the requirement for anyone travelling from a country placed on the red list.
Eleven England cricketers, including Yorkshire’s Jonny Bairstow, are quarantining at hotels following their return from the Indian Premier League, which has been suspended because of the escalating coronavirus crisis in India.
Discussions between the Lions and the Government are ongoing with the touring party hoping dispensation will be granted on the grounds they will be operating in a bubble with a regular testing programme in place.
But as it stands they must quarantine and with players meeting up for the first time for a training camp in Jersey in mid-June and returning from South Africa on August 9, Gatland knows his squad are facing an extended period away from home.
