Leigh Halfpenny owns up to ‘mistake’ after Wales penalty confusion

The failure to score from the resulting set-piece saw Scotland establish crucial momentum on their way to victory.

Leigh Halfpenny has owned up to the "mistake" of turning down a penalty attempt in Wales' RBS 6 Nations defeat to Scotland, according to kicking coach Neil Jenkins.

Halfpenny - who has scored 594 points for Wales - rejected the chance of a kicking opportunity at Murrayfield on Saturday which, had it been successful, would have levelled the scores at 16-16.
