Jefferson Lee Joseph (son of Jeff Joseph) scores try (touch down); wins Olympic gold in Rugby for France

In a lightning fast format, Jefferson Lee Joseph scored a crucial try (touch down) to help clinch Gold medals for the France Rugby Sevens Team who triumphed over Fiji at the Paris Olympics over the weekend, according to Planet Rugby.

The try (touchdown) was made more relevant due to the quick pace of the match, the entire match was just 14 minutes long.

Joseph, 21, who is the son of well-known Dominican singer the late Jeff Joseph of Grammacks, plays the position of outside back for the French Rugby Sevens Team.

The final score of the tense exchange was 28-7.

*editors note* Rugby Sevens is a variation of Rugby Union where seven player teams compete in matches of seven minute halves as opposed to the 15 members per team with 40 minutes halves of Rugby Union.

    there is no such thing as a touch down in rugby do some research before writing your article.

    ADMIN: A quick internet search will show you that there is: https://rugby365.com/laws-referees/the-laws/law-22-in-goal/

    However, we have changed the wording to performed a touch down in an effort to make it more clear.

      there is no such this as a TOUCH down in rugby . this is not american football . its called a TRY , get some education please.

      ADMIN: “When defending players are first to ground the ball in in-goal, the defending players make a touch down.”

      The quote is from the link provided above.

      You should inform yourself before demanding that others are the ones that need to be informed.
