Former NRL player Jarryd Hayne's sexual assault conviction has been quashed on appeal and he will face a retrial.
Hayne was found guilty in March last year of two counts of sexual intercourse without consent after meeting up with the woman on the NRL grand final night in September 2018.
In May he was jailed for a maximum of five years and nine months.
