How do we tell the referee we're kicking at goal?

Question

Accepted Answer

Under World Rugby Law 8.18 to 8.24 (Laws of the Game 2026): Indicate your intention to kick at goal without delay. You can tell the referee, or the intention is signalled when the kicking tee or sand arrives, or when the kicker makes a mark on the ground. Once you have indicated it, you must kick at goal. Otherwise the kick is disallowed and a scrum is awarded. The kick must be taken within 60 seconds (playing time) of indicating, even if the ball rolls over and has to be placed again. Otherwise the kick is disallowed and a scrum is awarded. Once the kicker has indicated a kick at goal, the opposition must stand still with their hands by their sides from the start of the kicker's approach until the ball is kicked. If the kicker has not indicated a kick at goal but drop-kicks a goal, the goal stands.
