[QUOTE="smartcooky, post: 730964, member: 20605"] Exactly. That is why it is written into the Law that way [TEXTAREA]LAW 22.17 (b) [B]Foul play by the defending team. The referee awards a penalty try if a try would probably have been scored but for foul play by the defending team.[/B] The referee awards a penalty try if a try would probably have been scored in a better position but for foul play by the defending team. A penalty try is awarded between the goal posts. The defending team may charge the conversion kick after a penalty try. A player who prevents a try being scored through foul play must either be [B]cautioned and temporarily suspended[/B] or sent off.[/TEXTAREA] Have a listen to the video here from about 6:30.

Referee Mark Lawrence gives the best description of this PT v YC distinction I have heard in a match. Ignore the d¡ckhead Irish commentator rabbiting on about the foul play not being in-goal.
