Jenkins hits out at referee

– Welsh great Neil Jenkins has questioned the “unbelievable” lack of action after fullback Leigh Halfpenny was sent crashing to the turf by Australia’s Samu Kerevi.

The Welsh Rugby Union confirmed on Monday that Halfpenny was suffering from concussion and following the mandatory recovery protocols after being forced off seven minutes from time during a 9-6 win over the Wallabies in Cardiff on Saturday.

Kerevi slammed into Halfpenny after the Welshman kicked into touch from inside his own 22.

Yet referee Ben O’Keeffe took no action at all.

“It’s unbelievable, how do you think that’s not a penalty?” said former Wales flyhalf Jenkins, now the team’s kicking coach. –
