Rugby-Ex 49er Hayne meets with ARU about union move - report (Reuters)

SYDNEY, July 21 (Reuters) - Former NFL and rugby league player Jarryd Hayne could change sporting codes again, having held talks with the Australian Rugby Union (ARU), according to local media reports.

Hayne missed out on his long-shot dream of playing for Fiji's rugby sevens side at the Rio de Janeiro Olympics having quit the NFL's San Francisco 49ers earlier this year in an attempt to make the South Pacific nation's Games team.

The 28-year-old's future has been the subject of widespread speculation in Australia about whether he would return to the NRL with the Parramatta Eels or seek a lucrative contract in European rugby union.
