In mid-May, Hayne announced his retirement from the 49ers in order to push for selection in the Fiji rugby sevens team for Rio. Hayne, who left the San Francisco 49ers and unsuccessfully tried out for Fiji's Olympic rugby sevens squad, signed with the Titans on Wednesday. His rugby sevens career turned out to be even shorter. The TV broadcasters also embraced Hayne's return, offering a "Hayne Cam" in which one half of a split screen featured only Hayne. Hayne finished the game with a try assist, his 20-meter "grubber" kick resulting in the final try of the match to winger Anthony Don.
