Halfpenny successfully converted five penalties to score the lion’s share of Toulon’s points and they will now meet either Clermont or Racing at the Stade de France in the Top 14 final on June 4.

However, the Welshman will be cheering his club team-mates on from after as he is set to imminently link-up with the Lions ahead of next month’s tour to New Zealand.
