More: Hayne's 27-yard return l Hayne makes Cowboys defence look silly l LIVE - Hayne's 2nd preseason game
While Hayne was making crazy yards returning a couple of kick-returns in the first quarter, the 49ers' media department was keen to send an online shout-out to Australia.
The trouble is, they posted the wrong flag in their tweet.
The mistake was retweeted hundreds of time and attracted a fair amount of criticism from disgruntled Aussies before it was deleted.
