It's not a dead ball personal foul based on the OP. The tackle was by the facemask so it's a live ball foul. The penalties cancel and we replay the try.

The ball becomes dead on the score. Without seeing the play it's impossible to determine whether the foul was live ball/dead ball. I was envisioning a take down by the facemask after clear possession had been established. If the facemask occurred while he was still gaining possession, I'd agree with the live ball foul.

After you wipe the "what just happened" look off your face, sort it out...I'll chime in later with what I did.

CANADIAN RULING:

The volleyball pass is a forward pass. I'd not flag it the offside pass subject to penalty and permit the score and enforce the facemask.
