Did they not introduce the law about kicking to touch after the final whistle.
If a penalty occurs the kick can go to touch after the whistle and the lineout must be taken. It must be tapped first before kicking to touch if the lineout is not wanted.
Did i dream this one or did it just not come in.
No, you're quite correct. If a penalty is awarded and a subsequent kick direct to touch is taken, then the play remains live and the lineout will take place, even if the match clock has gone red.
If the team benefiting from the penalty wish to end to the match they can take a quick tap, which takes the penalty, and then kick the ball dead. Game over!
