Gareth Anscombe has capped a remarkable return from his two-year injury lay-off by being crowned the United Rugby Championship’s Gilbert Golden Boot winner for 2021-22.
The prize is given to the season’s most accurate place-kicker, with all kickers who have attempted a minimum of 30 ranked by their success percentage.
And, after the URC StatMaster numbers – provided by Oval Insights – were crunched, it was Ospreys and Wales fly-half Anscombe who came out on top, boasting a success rate of 93.5%.
The 31-year-old only returned to action in pre-season from 761 days out with a knee ligament injury which had delayed the start of his Ospreys career.
