It could work both ways. For example the Tomkins sin bin during the semi final. Never a yellow card but if the wording was different and going by how the ref called it on the day he could have also given a penalty try.

I think the word probably is fairer, it will of course create further controversy at some point as people's opinion of probably will differ.

The wording is difficult, what I don't ever want to see is a player taken out the way Burgess was in a situation which prevents a team from winning a cup or causes a team to be relegated. Possibly something like if the referee believes a cynical foul has taken place to prevent a try scoring opportunity a penalty try should be awarded.

He didn't, there should have been a sinbinning for professional foul.

True, but it would have been a bit pointless as the hooter had already gone.

Not pointless if we miss fourth place by points difference smaller 6.

I don't see what difference a yellow card would have made to our points difference, except maybe a slightly better chance of scoring on the first play from the penalty.

It at least gave us the comedy of us trying to run it down the short side from a tap penalty with one play left. When are we going to bother trying a high kick to 6ft 5in. Gelling? Land it on their goal line and 9/10 he would beat another player to it.

I was baffled that we didn't go for two rather than try and score on one play

It wasn't a penalty try - Burgess kicked it too hard and wouldn't have caught it before it went dead in my opinion.

Definitely a yellow card though - the referee probably just couldn't be bothered to send him off given the time had run out.
