Strong mauling by Italy, so that’s both tries scored by mauls, but they go to TMO to check grounding
26

grootblousmile on 23 February 2018 at 10:12 pm

TMO
27

Bullscot on 23 February 2018 at 10:13 pm

No he is checking for a collapse of maul to give penalty try
28

Bullscot on 23 February 2018 at 10:14 pm

Bizzare decision that – penalty try
29

grootblousmile on 23 February 2018 at 10:14 pm

It’s a Penalty Try!!

… and there will be a Yellow Card too, I think!

No Card, because the culprit could not be identified!
