Halfpenny's late penalty gives Wales the win

By: Elliott Smith | Latest Rugby News | Monday February 6 2012 8:28

 

Wales have condemned Ireland to a 23-21 Six Nations loss thanks to a last minute penalty by fullback Leigh Halfpenny.

The Welsh scored three tries, two of them to centre Jonathan Davies, while the hosts managed two.

Halfpenny says for him it buries memories of having missing a potential match winning penalty in last year's Rugby World Cup semi final against France.

He says it's the hardest kick he's ever had to take and makes up for the miss at Eden Park.

The win is Wales' third in a row over Ireland.
