Jarryd Hayne inspires Australian man to dress like him, tackle dude on the street

James Dator has been covering a wide range of sports for SB Nation for over a decade, with a special focus on the NFL.

Australia has caught NFL fever. Well, that’s not true. Largely, people down under think the game is slow, dumb and confusing. However, they ARE fans of seeing other Australians succeed -- which is why everyone is talking about Jarryd Hayne.

That got taken to a new level by comedy duo “The Royal Stampede,” who dressed up like Hayne and did all sorts of Hayne-y stuff in public. They tackled each other, stole fast food from motorists -- largely everyone was entertained.

Jarryd Hayne liked it!

Maybe he can send them an extra pair of football pants so they don’t need to wear tights anymore.
