JARRYD Hayne was not named in the Fiji team named for the London Sevens on Wednesday, but there is still a chance he can be added ahead of the final World Tour event this weekend.

The former NRL star quit the San Francisco 49ers NFL team this week, declaring his goal of representing the country of his father’s birth in Rio.

He was welcomed into the fold by Fiji’s coach Ben Ryan but his name was missing from the 12-man squad named Wednesday for this weekend’s tournament.

Fiji do not have to stick to the 12 players for the competition, however, with the final lineup to be confirmed on Friday.

World Rugby released a statement after he declared his intentions saying Hayne was eligible for the London round “subject to all other regulatory and registration matters being met.

“He would also be immediately included in World Rugby’s pre-Rio 2016 risk-based testing program, which since January 2016 has included a comprehensive program of targeted in and out of competition blood and urine testing on players likely to compete in Rio.”

It’s not certain if Hayne was able to be registered in time for the team announcement.
