Jarryd Hayne: Australia’s biggest export since Hugh Jackman!
It’s fair to say I might be slightly more excited than the average Australia sports enthusiast given I am a Parramatta Eels fan and have watched Hayne carve up the NRL for years – treat yourself to the magic that is Jarryd Hayne below.

The day Hayne announced that he was leaving Parra to pursue a NFL career was a sad day for not just Eels supporters but NRL fans. There is no one who can replace Hayne, one of the best players in Australia. Not to mention how would the Blues be without Hayne? Given they had finally just won an Origin series and now would go into the next series without him (the result? Queensland won the series.)
So how big of a deal is it if Jarryd Hayne makes the San Franscico 49ers team? Massive! Australia has produced several punters, the most well known of the group Ben Graham and Sav Rocca. Hayne has the chance to not only shake the mold that Australian can ‘produce kickers’ but we are also home to some of the world’s most talented athletes.
Hayne has a chance to not only make the team – but if the buzz from the U.S and in Australia is anything to go by he could very well be a superstar of the game. There is still a long way to go and the 49ers and Hayne know that – but it’s hard not to get excited about the results so far!
A 34-yard gain as the @49ers RB? Ok, @jarrydhayne_1. Now you’re just showing off. #DALvsSF http://t.co/fi6t1ljqQu

That’s just former Rugby League star @jarrydhayne_1, fielding punts over-the-shoulder and picking up 27 yards. http://t.co/t1Npkbw9GL — NFL (@NFL) August 24, 2015
Even Bogut is throwing his support behind Hayne and it is great to see the 49ers embracing the excitement from Australia.
Love the reactions for @jarrydhayne_1 blowing up my feed! Well done. Go @49ers !!!! #goyouAussie

So Perth and all of Australia do yourself a favour and book a ticket on board the #HaynePlane as it is going to be one hell of a ride.
