Rule 6.7 "The ball becomes dead, or remains dead, when
Art 7 " a foul occurs"
Exception: The ball does not become dead until the try or tap ends, or until the airborne shooter returns to the floor"
This applies to Article 7 -"While a try or tap for field goal is in flight"
Thus the ball does not necessarily become dead on the whistle for a foul, if the ball has left the player's hands in a try or tap for goal. My hunch is the officials correctly scored the two points, but probably should have allowed a one-and-one at the other end - or if they were not in the bonus make note of the foul and conduct a spot throw in.
I am glad it wasn't my game.
