Try celebration

In Rugby football, a try celebration is the practice of celebrating the scoring of a try. The celebration may be performed by the tryscorer (most notably), his or her teammates, the manager or coaching staff and/or the supporters of the team. Whilst referring to the celebration of a try in general, the term can also be applied to specific actions, such as a player removing his shirt or performing a somersault.

Memorable celebrations

During Jarryd Hayne's rugby league career, Hayne was known for his post-try celebration nicknamed the 'Hayne Plane'.[1] After scoring a try he would extend both arms to the side and replicate the wings of a plane, the picture to the right shows the 'Hayne Plane' in action.

Adam Thomson is also known as "Blond Cena" due to his interest in wrestling and his try celebration of "You can't see me", a signature taunt/gimmick by John Cena.[2]

Peter Jorgensen scored 32 tries playing for the Panthers. It was during this time that he attracted notice for doing the "aeroplane", a post-try celebration where he would pretend to be a plane, with his arms representing wings.[3]

In May 2013, Delon Armitage called former England hooker Brian Moore a ‘fat p***k’ and tells him to ‘Go write another s*** book’ in response to criticism of his goading try celebration in the Heineken Cup final.[4][5]

Indigenous Australian rugby league footballer Greg Inglis had a signature try celebration resembling a goanna.[6]

Benji Marshall has done the drunken goanna like Greg Inglis[7]
