Foxy,

I'd disagree with that:

(as taken from the Laws of the Game on the RFU site)
Law 22, section 8
If a team kicks the ball through their opponents� in-goal, into touch-in-goal or on or over the dead ball line, except by an unsuccessful kick at goal or attempted dropped goal, the defending team has two choices:

To have a drop-out, or To have a scrum at the place where the ball was kicked and they throw in.

Althought it was from a penalty, but they didn't go for goal (or is my memory failing me?)
