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.Ireland, who won the Under-21 Triple Crown last season, were no match for the French in the first under-21 international played between the two countries at Donnybrook in Dublin yesterday, losing 40-13. The French outside-half Julien Berthe got his side away to a good start with a drop goal after three minutes and he then converted a try by Christophe Manas and added a penalty goal. For then on it was one-way traffic.
Wales achieved their 10th win at Under-21 level over Scotland since the series began in 1987, and, with more careful finishing, might have established a bigger winning margin than the 24-13 they posted at Goldenacre yesterday. The Welsh outside-half Shaun Connor marked himself out as a player for the future with an impressive performance.
