Two questions:-
1) Have I imagined that a referee can award a penalty restart from halfway in the event of foul play immediately after a try has been scored (e.g. defender knee drops into try scorer on the ground)? I can't find the law reference for this.
2) Assuming the above is correct, what happens is the try is scored after 80mins is up - my instinct is that you can't finish on a penalty so the attackers get their kick?
p.s. this was a hypothetical conversation at the v end of the 2nd test between NZ and Eng when England got a late consolation try.
