Fellow Referees please help.
After watching my clubs first team yesterday (level 7) I overheard a conversation between the referee, who in my opinion refereed very well, and his assessor/mentor/coach. The referee had awarded a penalty try for a high tackle on the winger, no problem, yellow card issued as per. Summing up the discussion the referee had allowed the non scorers to charge the conversion attempt. His a/m/c told him this was wrong, they cannot charge a conversion after a penalty try.
Try as I might I cannot find this in the law book, in fact I can find no reference to the charge at a penalty try being different to a normal try. Your comments most welcome.
