Jarryd Hayne shakes a big Queensland hit

NRL Superstar Jarryd Hayne was given an early reminder of the ferocity of State of Origin, getting smashed early doors after a receiving an awkwardly bouncing kick.

Hayne wasn't down long, chasing the following kick up and before going on to score later in the game.

Gold Coast Titans star Hayne, 28, has only been back in the NRL for 10 months following his unsuccessful attempt to represent Fiji in rugby sevens at the Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro.
