Well, so much for the Olympic dream. Former San Francisco 49ers running back Jarryd Hayne announced on Facebook that he has been informed he will not be selected for Fiji’s Olympic Rugby 7s team.
Hayne announced his retirement from the San Francisco 49ers on May 15, stating his plans to pursue an Olympic dream. At the time, he acknowledged that he only had a limited amount of time for athletic pursuits. In announcing that he has not made the Fiji team, he mentioned that time was not on his side.
Hayne said he will be in camp for a few more days before heading back to Sydney to figure out what is next.
