Law 16.4 (f)

"
(f) A player must not take any action to make the opposing team think that

the ball is out of the ruck while it is still in the ruck.

Penalty: Free Kick

16.5 OFF-SIDE AT THE RUCK"





Note this isnt limited to dummy passes.  Its ANY action, the picking up,
placing down then waving at the ref is definately trying to make them think
the ball was out.  Something Dawson has since admitted to doing in a
newspaper interval.



Also to the other poster, there was no advantage being played at that time.
