I have had 2 texts on this from mates...
==============
Biggar had the chance to put the Ospreys into the lead with a 43-metre penalty in the third minute after the Scarlets were penalised for infringing offside following a chip from rookie scrum-half Tavis Knoyle.
But the ball rolled off the kicking tee during his run-up and French referee Christophe Berdos controversially waved play-on. Biggar picked it up and fired a snap drop-goal but it went wide.
==============
I told them he was bob-on - the kicker had started the run - that was the crucial bit
I didnt know the law reference til I looked it up..
Found this for a conversion - what is it for a penalty??
9.B.2
(c) If the ball falls over before the kicker begins the approach to kick, the referee permits the kicker to replace it without excessive delay. While the ball is replaced, the opponents must stay behind their goal line.
If the ball falls over after the kicker begins the approach to kick, the kicker may then kick or attempt a dropped goal.
