Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

Northampton centre Matt Allen and Bath hooker Mark Regan have been handed the task of facing New Zealand for a third consecutive Tuesday after being named in the England A team to play at Leicester tonight.

The pair were part of the England Emerging Players team that conceded 59 points to the midweek All Blacks a fortnight ago and also played in a much improved display as the England Rugby Partnership side lost 18- 11 last week.

Nine of the ERP team are retained. Changes are kept to a minimum, John Bentley and Nick Greenstock having been promoted to the Test team last weekend, while the selectors take the chance to scrutinise the form of Adedayo Adebayo on the wing and No 8 Ben Clarke.
