Definitely a penalty try - no one was stopping Papali from 5 metres out. No one in front of him. He could have caught it and fell over - momentum would have got him over the line.
Yeah this wasn't even controversial. If Cronk doesn't tackle him without the ball, Papalii is in. The only controversy is whether it should've been a penalty try or not.
Super run from Papa, brilliant try saving-match winning tackle from Cronk.
In real time speed it looked a perfectly timed tackle... and in slow motion it was ever so slightly not

Easy call for the refs, definite sin bin.
