British and Irish Lions sharpshooter Leigh Halfpenny is keen to penalise the Wallabies Leigh Halfpenny of the Lions kicks at goal during the match between the NSW Waratahs and the British & Irish Lions at Allianz Stadium on June 15, 2013 in Sydney, Australia. HIS name is Halfpenny, but as far as lethal Lions threats go, he's definitely the full quid. Welsh superboot Leigh Halfpenny shapes as the British and Irish Lion star who could sink the Wallabies' Test hopes almost single-handedly, after displaying his signature menace to full effect so far on tour. Put simply, Halfpenny kicks goals. He doesn't "attempt" to kick goals, he just steps up and nails them. From everywhere. The deadly sharpshooter has kicked 22 of 23 goals in three games on tour thus far, and after pocketing two tries against the Waratahs last weekend for a 30-point haul, is averaging over 21 points a game in Lions red. Halfpenny's range extends to over 50 metres, and his relentless accuracy will no doubt be rammed home to the Wallabies, given any ill-discipline in their own half will translate to three points. "I asked him when he was going to miss, and he said: "I don't miss,"" Lions coach Warren Gatland said. We've seen previous Lions tours and World Cups are won on goalkicking. Apart from his goal kicking I thought some of his lines of running and his positional play defensively and kicking out of hand ... I think he is playing at the top of his game. He is the ultimate professional. He prepares and does everything that you would expect of him. While a few blowouts with the Lions might have helped him average 21 points a game, his regular Test points average over the past year is still anything but regular. Halfpenny has averaged 13 points a match for Six Nations champions Wales, including in four Tests against Australia. "His boot is in ice at the moment, it is pretty red hot," Lions and Wales teammate Johathan Davies said. He is one of the hardest working members of the squad. He puts a lot into his game. The plaudits he gets he deserves. I prefer playing with him than against him. Halfpenny's kicking coach is another Welsh superboot, Neil Jenkins, and the tiny fullback has the chance to break his mentor's record for most points in a Test series (41, 1997) against the Wallabies. Lions Tour: 3 games: 22/23 goals (95.7%), 2 tries, 65 points. Average points: 21.6 per game For Wales since June 2012: 12 games: 55/65 goals (85%), 1 try, 153 points. Average points: 12.75 per game
