Law 19.22: Hooker failing to strike

[Marc Wakeham]

What "secondary" signal would you use for this Free Kick offence?

 

[smeagol]

If it’s from an 8-man shove over the ball, I’d tap on a foot on the ground, a la the early foot.

 

[Marc Wakeham]

What if not an 8 man shove?

 

[Dickie E]

Same as no brake foot. Its the "play on lads, this isn't Twickenham" signal

I'm struggling with your meaning.

Are you saying; ignore the offence. Or, are you saying; use the same signal for two offences?

 

[Ciaran Trainor]

Assuming the hooking team win the ball, Feeding would be the easy option and tell the pack leader the ball has to be struck by the hooker and scrum half, don't take the p*ss

Appriciate that. But it does not answer the question. Is there an "official " signal sure using the same signal as for a PK offence (hands in the scrum) can't be right.

No, there isn't. "Official" secondary signals are shown in the law book

 

[Marc Wakeham]

Ok, have any of you been given a signal to use other than the "hands in" signal I've been seeing? I used "official" (as in, been instructed by your society / union to use it) because there is not an official one in the law book.
