Blow it up on a mark.

[FightOrFlight]

England v South Africa today. Steve Walsh blew the 1st half up after a mark was caught by a player. The ball was not kicked to touch he just blew the mark and then blew the half time whistle. Now no doubt the ball would be stabbed dead from the mark but still in a test match is this proper procedure?

[LAWS] If time expires and a mark, free kick or penalty kick is then awarded, the referee allows play to continue.[/LAWS]

Its Steve Walsh. He makes it up as he goes along.
