He's in the Counties Manukau team for the 2021 NPC compt. So assuming he's still in NZ.
However, you maybe not aware after 3 games Auckland went into lockdown & for the 3 Akld teams their season was eventually canned.
Unsure if he can travel out of lockdown area or can even get a new flight (its difficult to book an international flight out of NZ) but for insurance, transfer & employment reasons there is always a legal contract NZ release date & Quins start date which I expect is post the NPC finish date.
The problem for Quins is that since mid August his training will have been restricted to whatever he has been doing at his home. The issue is not his travel plans/start date but for safety reasons he can't just drop into a professional level rugby contact environment & be ready to go.
