Aussie with limited football knowledge hilariously live-blogs Jarryd Hayne, 49ers

The 49ers and Vikings’ Monday Night Football game has been an unwatchable stinker, but one man is still bringing joy to the proceedings.

Over on the site for the British newspaper The Guardian, Sydney-based writer Matt Cleary has been posting incredible live updates throughout the game. The purpose is to inform the Aussie public about their rugby league darling Jarryd Hayne’s regular season debut. The result is pure comedy.

Cleary opened with some honesty:

Greetings, the People, Matt Cleary here, I’ll be doing my best to call the Big Game – San Francisco 49ers versus Minnesota Timberwolves (or something) – live from Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara.
