However, in the specific case you mention, Tindall wasn’t lying over the ball, but was on his feet, rucking legitimately.

The French trangressor deliberately came in from the side, and miles offside, to rake down Tindall’s back – right in front of the linesman!

No penalty for such a cheap shot?

Personally, I think any game (and any sport) is ruined by cheap shots – cheating, and not by legimate attempts to keep the opposition “honest” – action to stop them cheating.
