Question

Forgive my reference numbers here, i need the tutoring on how to reference the rule book. Anyway, Rule 4, Article 2, letter i, states that during a try if b secures possession the play is dead or when it is apparent that the kick has failed it is dead.

My question is about a blocked PAT. Our guys always blow this dead immediately. Is this right. Because once we blocked a kick and their holder could have obviously ran it in for two points, but it was blown dead as he out hustled my guys to the ball. Shouldn't he have been awarded the opportunity to run with the ball since he recovered it behind the neutral zone?

Or is the kick being blocked the same as apparently failed?

thanks.
