Important Rugby Question

Okay, before I forget how it works ...
(coz I was trying to follow the argument in the pub)
England are winning by 11 points.
After 80 minutes and a few seconds, England are awarded a penalty.
Game over, and the referee blows for the end.
EXCEPT ... !!!
If England had been 2 points ahead, and Wales had been awarded the penalty, they could have taken it, because the team awarded the penalty is allowed to take it, even if the 80 minutes are otherwise up, and the ball is not dead until after the penalty is taken.
(that's the bit I'm not sure about)
So, the thing is, could England have taken the penalty if they wanted to???
