Bizarre finish, very harsh for the ref to say a try would definitely be scored - no-one had control of the ball! Be nice to Aussie (at home) week.

[@bremCZ]

Nobody with half an ounce of sense would agree that a try was probable without the foul being commited. It was nonsense.

[@samswiegers6266]

I agree that that was not penalty try-worthy, as there were other Crusader players in the vicinity, but a normal penalty would have pretty much ensured a Brumbies win, anyway.

[@warrust]

Which makes it even more brain-dead for the lock to do that when he knows that action is automatic penalty try

[@bnations2000]

@@bremCZ The decision tree for whether a try would have been scored can be a little unintuitive. Fans often think that the question is whether the try would have been scored had that player not offended, but refs are told to ask the question of whether the try would have been scored had the offending player not been on the field at all. It seems harsh, but there is a certain logic to it. In this case, had the Crusaders lock been magicked away to the naughty chair, then the Brumbies player would have certainly fielded it and scored. Simple as.

Interesting call for a pen try, regardless Brumbies likely would have won, Lolesio would have got the penalty goal

[@7eVen.si62]

It was a professional foul. That automatically makes it a card and a penalty try. If you don't know the rules I guess it's....interesting Lol

[@jdhif]

@@7eVen.si62 There's no guarantee he would have scored the try which is what meets the criteria for a penalty try, this opinion also isn't a minority opinion as many others have shared it.

[@garethpearce5255]

It is interesting. Automatic penalty try seems slightly out of proportion considering the way the ball was moving. Also does it matter how the ball comes off the crusader player? Does there need to be intention to force it dead? He could have been trying to grab at the ball but missed it.

[@7eVen.si62]

@garethpearce5255 The movement of the ball is not taken into consideration. The actions of the player(s) are. In this incident, regardless whether a try would have been scored or not, the player clearly slapped the ball into the dead zone/touch. The call for a card was made on that action. Given the field position and the rest the penalty try then automatically comes into consideration. You don't have to agree or like it. I get that. I am neutral. I am a Chiefs fans. I am just telling you what the rules state.

[@7eVen.si62]
