Of course I said that there SHOULD be a straightforward PT. There is no guarantee there would have been. And of course refs very seldom go PT when a player scores, partly historically to save time though that no longer applies with no kick required. I would like to think part of it is not taking the score from the player's record.
NEVER MOVE ON. Years on, I cannot ever watch Ireland with anything but indifference, I continue to wish for the imminent death of Donal Spring, the FIRFUC's executioner of Wee Paddy & Wee Stu, and I hate the FIRFUCs with undiminished passion.

The common sense approach would be to allow the try to be scored as part of the advantage play, but then to award the conversion automatically to the attacking team to reflect the foul play.
If it's a PT involving the scrum, it should be awarded to whoever gulders the loudest after the award.
Although many a time that would be me and I don't believe the Refs know who I am.
Apart from Nigel, who know everyone.
Support the Team, not the regime Guinness is Good For You.

Maro Itoje will be raging his props are shyte then
That man can celebrate and gulder even in the darkest hour
I feel sorry for Eddie Jones. He is widely reported as saying they 'wanted to play with a bigger dead ball area.' Fortunately for Stockdale's try stats, the groundsman did the complete opposite.
All positions are important but some are more influential ---- i have had a few disagreements as to whether scrum half or out half are the most influential personally I consider scrum half to be the most influential -- a good scrum half provides the out half the opportunity == a good out half out side a bad scrum half is sucking plums
Within this carapace of skepticism there lives an optimist
