Bringing the hurt
Leigh Halfpenny appears ready for Toulon’s European Champions Cup semi-final against Leinster on Sunday, despite shipping this almighty hit against Grenoble at the weekend.
The Welsh full-back was left in a heap and grimacing through some severe shoulder pain after being levelled by Peter Kimlin, who capitalised on a hospital pass, to Halfpenny, by Juan Fernandez Lobbe.
But Halfpenny looks set to answer the bell for this weekend’s battle with the Irish province, having turned up for Toulon’s pre-match press conference to declare the semi-final ‘one of the biggest matches of my career’.
