That "PK" in the Eng v Ire game

[TheBFG]

I've seen this discussed elsewhere, so thought I'd throw it in here too.

[LAWS]11.6 (b)
When a player hands the ball to a team-mate in front of the first player, the receiver is offside. Unless the receiver is considered to be intentionally offside (in which case a penalty kick is awarded), the receiver is accidentally offside and a scrum is formed with the opposing team throwing in the ball.[/LAWS]

so a PK might be considered harsh, in that instance.

You think he did not realise Wood was in front of him?! It looked as if Wood actually reached back to take the ball.

Surely Wood did not enter through the gate anyway?

Definitely a PK for offside.
Not too clued up on the TMO protocol re number of phases. Weren't they in the 3rd phase when the "try" was scored?
