Geez, she's only 15!
If she didn't come from the wrong end of the country I'd have guessed that she was Todd Miller's daughter going by that photo.

For unknown reasons, sideline app isn't streaming the World Schools Sevens this year. The World Schools Sevens FB page gives a link to another (free) streaming site, but it looks like one of those illegal streaming sites and they ask for credit card information to confirm your location (not for payment, because it's free). Does anyone know this site and do you trust it?
