Try celebration

In [[rugby football]], a '''try celebration''' is the practice of celebrating the scoring of a [[Try (rugby)|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.
