Having moved towards the point where the offence occurred, the referee indicates
where the tap will be taken to recommence play.

The referee then holds this mark indicating to the
defenders to move back to a mark 10 metres from where the tap is to be taken.
Both arms are extended directly outwards with fingers of both hands splayed and
pointing upwards. This indicates the requirement of the 10 metre mark by the
defenders. (photo 3)
The 'buddy' referee marks the 10 metres from the sideline,
indicating if any players are offside. The onfield referee moves forward with
play once the tap is taken. It is not necessary to blow your whistle to restart
the game from the tap.
