I seem to remember a previous thread where this may have been discussed.
Law 10 states;
A penalty try must be awarded if the offence prevents a try that would probably otherwise have been scored. A player who prevents a try being scored through foul play must either be cautioned and temporarily suspended or sent off.
However, this particular statement is part of 10.2(a) Intentionally Offending and one could argue that a clumsy, unintentional high tackle would fall outside the requirement for a YC except that the highlighted part above, seems to be a general, sweeping statement.
10.2(c) deals with throwing into touch and then states;
A penalty try must be awarded if the offence prevents a try that would probably otherwise have been scored. Note that the requirement of a YC is not repeated here but is it taken for granted that ALL Law 10 offences that result in a PT must be accompanied by a YC?
What Law 10 offences are there that you, as the referee, would award a PT but not necessarily give a YC for?
