Quote ="Disco"That's not a consideration is it? A foul was committed while a player was in the act of scoring, hence penalty try under the sticks. The ref doesn't need to make a judgement on where the player might have touched down if he hadn't been fouled.
(@ Bonz...) One thing I did wonder about the incident though - shouldn't it have been an eight pointer? Pen Try, conversionattempt AND penalty kick?'"
2 seasons ago when we were in perpignan the same thing happened and Ian Smith the ref awarded them a try Bosc converted from where the try was scored and then Smith gave them a pen under the posts making an 8pt. The only difference that I saw was that Smith didnt give a penalty try which maybe allowed him to give the pen under the posts' where as Hallibut awarded a pen try from his video which perhaps rules out an 8pointer. Maybe Hallibut had a vested interest eh
