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.

BOB DWYER will shortly sign an extension to his contract with Bristol, the Allied Dunbar Premiership Two leaders, that will see him remain as director of rugby until the end of the 2001-02 season.

Dwyer will be responsible for the new enlarged squad of players when Bristol's buy-out of London Scottish is completed at the end of the season. He was director of rugby at Leicester Tigers before losing his job along with his assistant, Duncan Hall, last February.

Ulster have been allocated 28,000 tickets out of the 49,000 available for the European Rugby Cup final match with Colomiers at Lansdowne Road on Saturday week. Ulster were originally given a 20,000 ticket allocation but that was increased because the Irish Rugby Football Union has been inundated with ticket applications.

The 49,000 crowd will be the biggest for a European Cup final, beating the 36,500 which watched Bath beat Brive at Bordeaux last year.
