A penalty try is awarded in rugby when foul play prevents a probable try from being scored. The attacking team is awarded an automatic seven points, and the offending team will have a player sent to the sin bin if the official can easily identify the individual responsible. 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 difference between a try and a penalty try is that a try is scored when a player grounds the ball over the try line, and it is worth five points, while a penalty try is worth seven points and is awarded when foul play prevents a probable try from being scored.
