Jorja Miller - Christchurch Girl’s High School
This was the girl that tore Howick apart in the final by scoring 4 tries.
@Bovidae Yeah, good on defence, too.

A STAR IS BORN - Jorja Miller
Congratulations to Year 11 Christchurch Girls' High School student Jorja Miller for winning the MVP award for the Open Girls Grade at the 2019 Youth Town Condor Sevens. The Timaru-born playmaker scored an incredible 4 tries in the final!
We can't wait to see Jorja and the rest of the tournament team play at the Sky Sport NZ World Schools 7's next weekend!

Apparently, she's also very good in XVs. She's an openside flanker.

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?
