The former Niners running back will now attempt to represent Fiji at the 2016 Summer Olympics as part of the nation's Rugby Sevens team.

Many friends – and even a bitter rival – took to Twitter to wish the "Hayne Plane" well as he goes for gold in Rio. Enjoy a sampling of the reactions below.

Wish you all the best @JarrydHayne. I truly admire your grit and determination.
