Wales' most reliable points scorer and the Lions' hero of the 2013 tour — Leigh Halfpenny's metronomic goal-kicking and brave defending made him the best full-back of his generation.

Leigh Halfpenny is the most reliable goal-kicker Welsh rugby has produced. His Lions Player of the Series award in 2013 — for which he kicked an extraordinary percentage of his attempts — confirmed his status as one of the finest full-backs in world rugby. He won six Six Nations titles with Wales and three Grand Slams.

His kicking statistics on the 2013 Lions tour — converting 18 of 19 penalty attempts — are the most accurate in Lions history.
