Yes. Nobody else is there to stop that. 

The fact he hit the shoulder first saved him. Direct contact and that's a red and penalty try.

[Dave T]

McDermott - eff off you clown. 

[andyscoot]

Come on Cats, make it count

[JohnM]

Shut the f up Makinson and get off the pitch.

The shoulder stopped it being red. I agree. But a foul to prevent a try should be penalty try. 

[Man of Kent]

What else is a defender supposed to do there? Not a penalty let alone a yellow 

[Sports Prophet]

And just like that, the foul play was justified

Tackle him legally?

[Just Browny]

Live, I thought Yaha was going in touch anyway, but he had actually steadied himself and was going to score without the foul. Had to be a penalty try.

Must be upsetting for SL..

How does Makinson get binned and Garcia  not? Total inconsistency. Moore doing his best for Catalan

He prevented a try with foul play. How is that not a penalty try? 

  Penalty try and yellow card all day long.First contact with shoulder saved him a red card.

Thought the touchie was gonna miss that one too

[Waynebennettswinger]

What a kick from Drinkwater

[Spidey]

Didn’t Coote keep that in?

[DavidM]

I think that call was fair enough I didn’t think it was a penalty try . 

[Man of Kent]

Catalans need to make their lucky break count now

I don't think a ref could give that as a certain try as he's getting tackled. 

[bratman]

Great kick. Good work from the other touch judge haha
