That penalty try decision in the Ireland v New Zealand game is baffling.

I agree, how can the defending team NOT be allowed to put the ball in touch!?

Looks like the union team is as bad as the league team.All morning on the radio they were saying it was a under strength Aussie team yet they won easily.

Doesn't take much time to look at the news and with 1 try being scored in 12 months, I'd say the highlights package wouldn't go too long huh?

It's how you do it that makes a difference.
In Union you can kick or carry the ball into touch but a deliberate throw or knock into touch is a penalty offence. If it stops a try that would otherwise have been scored then it's a penalty try.

I still don't think there was enough evidence for the video referee to award a penalty try. I'll stick with my earlier comment.

Scotland have just scored their first try at home for over a year. How can anybody enjoy this gash?

How big is the rule book for Union ?
