It's a silly question, I know, but quite entertaining!
It's an oddity, because if he attempted to end the game legally, and ignorantly, by punting to touch, you make him have a line out (as in Lions), but because he did it illegally, he gets another go
What if he actaually wanted the line out ? does he still get a second go, or did he lose his chance? Or do we just have a lineout.

having thought about it a little, I think the best thing is to give a scrum for PK not taken correctly.. and therefore end of the game.
hi cross.
do you mean because time is up , you would award scrum & not let them take it because time is up .
this would be ok for time up in open play following knock on / forward pass .
but scrum being awarded , due to a penalty kick not taken properly ,, with time up .
i think the scrum would still be awarded & played out {{ ill have to check this }}
I don't think you can end a half by means of an illegal move other than a knock-on.
Re: Wayne Bardes and the 22m dropout and an IRB clarification of c. 2010
hmm... perhaps... but in that case what would you do ?
(Reminder : time has expired and Red side-foot their PK directly into touch
what would you do if
a) Red are winning and you believe their intention was to end the game
b) Red are losing and you believe that their intention was to have a lineout)

Award the scrum to Blue as per the law?
And with the award of a scrum the game ends as per the Law ?
I think I would follow the management advice Dickie E suggested
An unsuccessful restart after time is played out until successful - a skew lineout is turned over, a wheeled scrum reset. I'd count crossref's example of an illegally kicked penalty as an unsuccessful restart, and give the scrum.
There's a clarification on the lineout, fairly clear:
