Upper body mainly. Deltiods. If passing off right arm to the left your right arm would contract using the anterior deltiod, the left arm would contract using the posterior deltiod. Other muscles used would be the wrist flexors, pronator teres, biceps and triceps. Possibly trapizius. Pectorals.

The thigh and the back muscles are the most commonly used muscles when scoring a try in Rugby. Other muscles also play a role but the most common stances when scoring a try are the crouching or diving stance.
