Jarryd Hayne Won't Be Included In Fiji's Rugby Sevens Squad For Olympics

Jarryd Hayne has missed selection in Fiji's Rugby Sevens side for the Rio Olympics.

Hayne was told on Friday he didn't make the team and he will return to Sydney next week to consider his future.

"I used all my experience as a professional athlete and have tried everyday and in every way possible to make this team and make it better but unfortunately, time has been against me," Hayne said in a statement.

The former Parramatta NRL fullback had shifted to the modified game after quitting the NFL in May.

He made his debut at the London Sevens for the World Champion side, however only played limited minutes in each game.

"As much as I would have loved to go to Rio, I too knew I wasn't ready yet," Hayne said.

"During my time with the team, I pushed my body above and beyond."

Hayne's non-selection will only further fuel rumours of the two-time Dally M medallist's return to the NRL.
