NRL star Jarryd Hayne has had his application for bail in the lead up to his sentencing over rape charges denied.
Hayne had previously been released on bail after being found guilty on two charges of sexual intercourse without consent earlier this month with the judge agreeing that Hayne would be “vulnerable” while in custody.

Justice Richard Button on Friday said that Hayne’s imprisonment was “inevitable”.
"It is proven that Mr Hayne is a man who sexually assaulted a woman,” he said.
