If a yellow card was warented after repeated scrum infringements why was a Penalty Try not awarded

Others have stated that obviously having repeatedly warned Bristol for successive penalties the referee failed to either award a penalty try or issue a yellow card immediately following the first or even the 2nd warning. The " my prop is injured routine" was rapidly changed when it was realised that it meant losing an additional player and having to commit 8 men to the scrum, In France I think failure to field a front row means the loss of two players which seems to cure the problem. The pushing of our scrum half and picking the ball out of our scrum by the Bristol 9 unseen by the officials demands it's own enquiry to discover how they failed to see it and take action.
