The Greatest Solo Performance In Lions History? - Leigh Halfpenny's Record Breaking 2013 Tour

The British and Irish Lions are currently on their tour of Australia and have won the first test in Brisbane. The Lions is all about history and tradition, meaning each evokes the memories of tours gone by. In this case of this tour, the tales being told most often relate to the last time the Lions visited Australian shores, when they made history with their only victorious test series this century.

Whilst a Lions tour is about coming together, so often the memories are about an individual. In the case of 2013, the individual of note was Wales fullback Leigh Halfpenny. His record breaking performance won him player of the series back in 2013... but was it even more than that? Was Halfpenny's performance against Australia in 2013 the greatest we have ever seen from a Lion?

In this video I will tell the story of Halfpenny's 2013. I'll break down what made him such an exceptional player and how he propelled himself to the Lions XV in Australia, setting records all along the way.
