A penalty try is awarded in rugby when foul play prevents a probable try from being scored. The referee will run under the posts and signal a try in the traditional way with their arm raised, and the offending team will have a player sent to the sin bin if the official can easily identify the individual responsible. The attacking team is awarded an automatic seven points, 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. 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.
