Rugby League: Jarryd Hayne has been sounded out about a shock rugby league return by Fiji coach Wise Kativerata
Fiji coach Wise Kativerata says he is working on having the former Eels and Titans star join him the squad for the end-of-season Pacific Championships. The coach said he extended an invitation to the 36-year-old to throw on his old Fiji jersey, a side he has not represented in six years.. “He’s fit, but we’re just waiting on his decision if he’s interested, which will be a boost for the team.”
“Jarryd is an elite athlete,” Fabri said. “He is one guy you can never, ever disregard when he puts his mind to something. When Jarryd applies himself, he will never stray. He did the unthinkable by making an NFL roster.” Nawaqanitawase has already represented the Wallabies at the Rugby World Cup and played rugby 7’s for Australia at the Olympics, setting him on course to become a dual-code international representative.
“As long as we get Fijian boys making their debut and stepping up, we are doing our job,” Kativerata said. “I stayed true to myself the whole time, the whole process. Today is a vindication for myself and my family and my loved ones.
