LONDON (Reuters) - It is a fair bet that if Wales are to progress from a group containing England and Australia, let alone hope to emulate their run to the semi-finals in 2011, Leigh Halfpenny will have to convert every penalty that comes his way.

The fullback heads into this World Cup in his prime and, at 27, is arguably the most deadly and dependable goalkicker in the international game.
