More: Hayne's 27-yard return l Hayne makes Cowboys defence look silly l LIVE - Hayne's 2nd preseason game

While Hayne was making crazy yards returning a couple of kick-returns in the first quarter, the 49ers' media department was keen to send an online shout-out to Australia.

The trouble is, they posted the wrong flag in their tweet.

The mistake was retweeted hundreds of time and attracted a fair amount of criticism from disgruntled Aussies before it was deleted.

@49ers @jarrydhayne_1 wrong flag fellas, wish he was a kiwi but — James Pickford (@Jamespickford3) August 24, 2015

@49ers @jarrydhayne_1 It’s easy to do… but that’s the NZ flag, not AUS 🇦🇺 — Jonno Simpson (@JonnoSimpson) August 24, 2015

Thankfully they got it right in the end.
