Just looking for some clarity on scoring a try when initially tackled short of try line. My understanding is that if the player immediately, and as part of a continuous move can reach out and place the ball over the line a try is awarded. If the person is tackled, then lunges forward with a second motion to attempt to score the try I have been told to not award it. The difference seeming to be the body movement as a second move along with the reach versus law 15.5(g) which only addresses reaching forward (no additional body movement forward).
It seems a nit, but it has come up several times in the past.
