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?

[Bovidae]

It is live on SS1 so you can access via Sky Go.

[Stargazer]

@Bovidae Field 2 games aren't on Sky Sport; only games on field 1.

They have now posted a direct link to the stream (on another site) that doesn't ask for any info.
