General Info
Edit
Leigh Halfpenny is an unusual talent who is steadily cementing his name as an elite performer. He's a stout, nuggety force who is fast when finishing is required, while light on his feet, elusive and tough on the return ball.
He started life with the Neath Swansea Ospreys, playing the 2005-06 season for their Under 18's. He then filled a year with the Neath RFC, before signing with the Cardiff Blues. In his debut for this club in May 2008 he scored 3 conversions, assisting with their 17-26 win. Leigh played for the Welsh under 20 side before being selected for the Wales national team in October 2008, making his debut at the tender age of 19.
Injury aside, Halfpenny has been a permanent member of the Welsh side ever since.
In 2009 he was selected to play for the British and Irish Lions tour to South Africa, however injury plagued this campaign as he first joined the series late and then only played one game against Free State Cheetahs before his original injury was confirmed as recurrent and he withdrew from the series.
In the 2011 World Cup Halfpenny demonstrated a new level of maturity and was a standout performer in the campaign. During this series he was tried in multiple positions, but began his ride to the Fullback position and took on the role as primary goal kicker.
In the 2012 6 Nations his class really shone, finishing as the top points scorer of the series. Not surprisingly he also came home second overall in the Fantasy Game with 1,630 points.
So long as he manages to keep injury at bay, the story that is Leigh Halfpenny still has many pages to come.
