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.

England prop Andrew Sheridan will miss Saturday's game against New Zealand as he continues to receive treatment on a neck injury.

Sheridan picked up the injury in the defeat to Australia 10 days ago and also missed last weekend's heavy loss to South Africa.

Gloucester prop Nick Wood has been called in to the senior squad from England Saxons as cover.

Coach Martin Johnson also has injury concerns over inside centre Riki Flutey, who was replaced after 32 minutes against the Springboks with a hamstring problem.

Yesterday Ben Kay was called into the squad as cover for Tom Palmer, who is undergoing treatment for a tight right calf.
