Correct ruling?

CANADIAN RULING:

It sounds as though the foul occurred before the score. The score will not count.

The foul is a Rough Play penalty, and is 25 yards. If the LTG was already reached at the time of the foul, go back 25 yards from Point Ball Held, 1st down. If the LTG was not already reached at the time of the foul, go back 25 yards from the Point of Last Scrimmage, and repeat the down.

Team B could allow the score, but why would they do that? If they did choose this silly option, enforce the penalty on the convert or on the ensuing kick-off in the same quarter, or in the next quarter if at the end of a quarter, or into OT if the score ties the game at the end of the 4th quarter.

The player is disqualified. This is one of few penalties that cannot be declined in the Canadian game.
