Rob Kearney and fiancee Jess Redden in strict Australian quarantine as rugby ace moves Down Under

Rob Kearney and fiancee Jess Redden are in a strict 14-day hotel quarantine as the rugby star prepares for his Australian adventure.

Fitness model Redden shared an insight into the stringent rules the pair must follow, having touched down in Brisbane yesterday.

Kearney, 34, left Leinster to sign for Western Force - based in Perth - but the couple are in quarantine in Brisbane after they flew into Brisbane Airport.

Covid-19 rules mean that those flying into Australia must quarantine in a hotel chosen by the Government for 14 days.

Three meals are left outside the couple's door every day and the pair are attempting to stay active within the confines of their room.

Taking to Instagram, Redden explained that her and Kearney are not allowed to leave the hotel room.

The 26-year-old social media star wrote: “I had the most amazing sleep!! Beds are super cosy and I have my BFF with me for the next 14 day.

“I’m sure some days will get tough, I’ll really miss fresh air and exercise but we can’t leave the room at all or open a window- but the view is pretty.

“The window in our room doesn’t open we are on the 11th floor, access to a balcony or open-window can’t be guaranteed!

“We were assigned a hotel in the airport so only found out once we landed. I cannot wait to breathe fresh air again in 13 days' time.”

Elaborating on the couple's experience having touched down in OZ, Redden added: "It was the oddest experience I felt like we had the plague or something!!” she wrote on her stories.

"We were all transported by bus and escorted by officers (who are lovely!) they bring you to your room and guard your floor each day and night.

"It’s all very well organised over here.”
