Failed Kick out to end the game

just played a game where i scored a try right on 80 mins and so on restart their kicker attempted to kick directly to touch to end the game, however due to the new random kickoff mechanic the ball didn't reach the sideline and instead was caught by one of his forwards (while still behind the halfway line) who was then able to run it up, my players were able to tackle him and turn it over to end the game but if this was a closer match it could have changed the game
Shame there’s nothing happening about kicks not going 10 but hey ho...
