A penalty try COULDN'T be awarded. Unfortunately to award a penalty try the ref has to be certain a try would've been scored. Wales kept collapsing early before that was the case. He could've dished out more yellow cards, but then Wales would've said the subs were injured and it would've meant uncontested scrums which would've negated France's advantage. The ref was excellent, it was just one of those crazy situations and maybe France made a couple of rash decisions and could've won it sooner.
The bite thing was interesting as well.
You could hear the ref clearly say that there was a bite mark, but because the video was inconclusive, he couldn't take any action.
I thought it was all intriguing.
