Ahh correct. He was tackled without the ball, and while anything can happen, it doesnt have to be a guaranteed score to award the penalty try.

That’s a very generous penalty try IMO

Two French players on top of him, and still a couple of meters out, yellow card definitely, but very harsh penalty try.

Dunno, even if he caught it with his knee or foot it likely would have been scored.

He tried to kick it but overran it. He was then tackled

It has to be a probable score and I don't see how it was anything of the sort to be honest.

Harsh that

I wonder with Italy having a professional overhaul from bottom up with Conor O Shea calling the shots will Italy eventually over take France in international rugby. As Italy progress France regress and they eventually over take them

Ashton had over-run that ball. There is no way in hell he was going to pick it up and score either way.

France attack ends up as an England PT is just France being France. Ropey decision that it was

I think they said on TV record points loss for France vs England was 37 points which was nearly 100 years ago.

Wonder would he have carded him if they had 15 on the pitch or if it was a closer game.
