Best ever Welsh goal kicking performance?
Best ever goal kicking performance by a Welsh player?
What I saw today blew my mind. Almost all kicks were from or near the touchline and all went dead centre through the sticks.
Is Halfpenny a secret Soviet biological experiment containing Paul Thorburn and Neil Jenkins DNA?

None of the above.
(Quite) a number of years ago I was playing for an East Midlands combined side which was playing down in Wales.
The Welsh scrum half in this one particular match was getting a pretty rough going over most of the game. Eventually, towards the end of the match, he turned, lashed out, and kicked one of my guys square between the legs, virtually crushing both oysters. Best aimed kick I have ever seen.
One of the worst jobs I ever had in my medical career was going to the hospital with this guy and trying to nurse some life back into his family jewels.
So, I think this was the best kicking performance I ever saw in Wales: aim, accuracy, power, pain.

Paul Thorburn against Scotland in 1988, not only did he kick a world record in terms of distance 70 yards, 8 and a half inches (64.2m), but the ball also hit a Scottish player in the balls after going over.
