Misses and errors kick in teeth for Neil Jenkins

If anyone should be worried about missed penalty kicks from the Lions it is skills coach Neil Jenkins.

The tourists paid dearly for missed shots at goal on Tuesday as they lost to the Highlanders by a point in Dunedin, replacement fly-half Owen Farrell and long-range kicker Elliot Daly each missing second-half chances to compound the team’s overall error and penalty count as they blew a 22-13 lead to the Super Rugby outfit.

Yet Welsh points-scoring legend Jenkins, the Lions kicking coach on each of the last three tours, is happy with the arsenal at the Lions’ disposal ahead of the Test series with the All Blacks, starting a week on Saturday.
