My source did a double take when he saw the squad. Apparently they've had some overseas players decline the opportunity to play this week due to Covid bubbles at their clubs.
It is an extended squad, so they may well be released back to Wasps on Thursday or Friday, but if they were to catch the next available flight after Thursday evening out of Tiblisi, which departs at 5.15am on Friday morning, it would take them 10h 35m to get back to Stanstead with a stopover in Istanbul. They may also need Covid Testing before being allowed to join our bubble.
