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.JEFF PROBYN was given a way back into the England set-up when he was named in the London team to face the North in the Divisional Championship on Saturday at Newcastle.
Probyn, 37, was chosen at tight- head prop ahead of Andy Mullins, who featured in the 46-man England squad for New Zealand's tour. The Harlequins player was left out of that group but he may have the chance to bid for a Test place when London play the All Blacks on Saturday week.
Justyn Cassell, also of Harlequins, drops out of the London team to play the North after dislocating his right shoulder while Tony Underwood will make his debut for London in the match.
England's Tim Rodber and Ian Hunter have pulled out of the North team to meet Wales A today. Rodber, a back-row forward, is suffering from a recurring ankle problem, while his Northampton team- mate Hunter has decided against playing two matches in the space of just four days.
