Fair enough, I always thought the first kick was the conversion and the second kick was the penalty. You live and learn.

Penalty try is not the same as a try with a penalty.

Penalty try is when a try was going to be scored but stopped due to foul play. The ref awards the try under the posts and conversion is taken from in front.

A try with a penalty is when a try has been scored but then an illegal act has been committed e.g. Player gets kneed in the back after sliding in and grounding the ball. In this instance the try is awarded where the ball was grounded and a conversion takes place. After this, the ref then awards a penalty in front of the posts.

That was a very tough decision. It looked to me like Vunivalu was grabbed by Jennings at the time he made contact with the ball (so it was a legitimate tackle). If that is the sort of incident that is going to be ruled a penalty try, we are going to be seeing a lot more penalty tries now in future.
Grabbed his arm well before he got the ball. Penalty try everyday of the week
