No try involved, two separate fouls by the same team are whistled = by rule the ball becomes dead when a foul occurs and any contact afterward which isn't intentional or flagrant is ignored. The officials need to decide which foul happened first and only penalize that one. The other one gets ignored by rule. Award 1-1 to the fouled player and continue as normal.
With a try in flight, two off-ball fouls by the same team are whistled. = now both need to be penalized as the ball does not become dead until the try ends, thus both are live ball personal fouls and both fouled players are entitled to 1-1.
The try counts if successful and then the officials will award 1-1 to one player with the lane cleared, followed by 1-1 to the other fouled player with the lane spaces occupied. The game will continue as normal from the second player's FT attempts.
Which player shoots FTs first? The officials have to make that decision and it should be based upon which foul they believe occurred first. If they truly can't tell, then they just have to pick one.
