Kicking king Halfpenny gives Wales fighting chance of title

Halfpenny once again punished Scotland, kicking 23 points that took his tally against them to 55 in just four games. But on a day when Halfpenny and Scottish marksman Greig Laidlaw shared 18 penalty attempts – a world Test record – the Wales full-back ultimately prevailed.
After missing three successive shots at goal, the Cardiff Blues star admitted his Murrayfield experience could easily have been remembered for all the wrong reasons before returning a 72% success-rate through seven penalties and a conversion.
