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.

AUSTRALIA MEET France in a one-off Test at the Stade de France today, in a match which should provide an indicator as to the potential of the two sides for next year's World Cup.

The Wallabies give new caps to three players - Chris Latham at full-back, Nathan Grey on the wing and Patricio Noriega, who played 22 Tests for his native Argentina, in the front row. The tourists have one doubt, with the stand-off Stephen Larkham, inspirational for Australia since making the position his own, nursing a knee injury and facing a late fitness test.

France have made two changes to the side that beat Argentina 34-14 in Nantes last Saturday, preferring Philippe Bernat-Salles on the wing and including the kicking expert Christophe Lamaison at centre.
