HALFPENNY KO

- BY STEFFAN THOMAS

LEIGH HALFPENNY has been ruled out of Wales’ Test with South Africa on Saturday.

The metronomic goal-kicker (left) was the victim of a late hit by Australia centre Samu Kerevi when Wales beat the Wallabies 10 days ago.

The 2013 Lions player of the series has failed to shake off concussion symptoms and will sit out the visit of the Springboks.

But Wales attack coach Rob Howley has confirmed star wing George North will be available.

He said: “Leigh is out. He did some training on Saturday morning and was feeling a little bit lightheade­d.

“It’s the common-sense approach. But I am glad to say that George North is back in full training.”
