A penalty try is awarded in rugby when foul play by the opposing team prevents a probable try from being scored. The attacking team is awarded seven points automatically, and no conversion is attempted. Previously, teams still had to convert penalty tries from under the posts before the law was changed to ensure sides automatically received the seven points without having to waste time to take the kick. The most common incidents that lead to a penalty try include high tackles close to the try line and collapsing rolling mauls. The offending team will have a player sent to the sin bin if the official can easily identify the individual responsible. The law states that "A player guilty of this must be cautioned and temporarily suspended or sent off". Beyond the seven points, often a yellow card is awarded to the defending player who commits the offence, and in serious instances of foul play, this can be upgraded to a straight red card.
