[QUOTE="j'nuh, post: 746415, member: 55446"] re: the penalty try, you can clearly see Matawalu gets underneath Tom Youngs, but it's not clear from any of the angles provided as to whether he's able to hold up Tom Youngs from touching the ball over the line. My suspicion is that he has succeeded, given that Matawalu is laid directly underneath Youngs though. Peyper looks like he had a better angle of what happened. But regardless of whether or not it is a penalty try, the rules clearly state that a yellow can be given for an intentional offence, even if it doesn't stop a try: 10.2(a) Intentionally Offending. A player must not intentionally infringe any Law of the Game, or play unfairly.[B] The player who intentionally offends must be either admonished, or cautioned that a send off will result if the offence or a similar offence is committed, or sent off.[/B] A penalty try must be awarded if the offence prevents a try that would probably otherwise have been scored. A player who prevents a try being scored through foul play must either be cautioned and temporarily suspended or sent off. [/QUOTE]
