Hayne, Wing yet to see any action in NFL clash
WWOS staff and AAP
Jarryd Hayne has not taken the field in the first half against the New York Giants with the San Francisco 49ers defence unable to force their NFC rivals into punting.
The Australian has also not been used as a running back with Carlos Hyde and Reggie Bush sharing snaps at the position.
The dominance of the Eli Manning-led Giants’ offense also means that New York’s Aussie punter Brad Wing is yet to see any action.

The Victorian, who was raised playing Aussie rules, has been a sensation since being traded from the Pittsburgh Steelers on the eve of the regular season.
Wing has dropped 12 punts inside opponent’s 20-yard line, easily the best record of any punter in the NFL.
At halftime, the 49ers trail the Giants, 6-13.
