Saving a ball that is *definitely* going in is a little different

Saving a ball that is definitely going in is a little different

in rugby the equivalent punishment is a penalty try.

It wasn't denying a goal scoring opportunity like a last man foul outside the box is, it's turning into a goalkeeper and denying an actual goal. It's far worse.
