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.

LAWRENCE DALLAGLIO, one of the potential solutions to the mobility problems in England's back row, ran in two tries for Wasps as they won 26-15 at Gloucester in League One of the Courage Clubs' Championship.

The 23-year-old flanker's second effort, in the final minute, left Gloucester one spot off the bottom with just two points and a third of the season already over.

Wasps' other try-scorer was Dean Ryan while Rob Andrew kicked three penalties and a conversion. For Gloucester, Tim Smith landed four penalties and Martyn Kimber a drop goal.

Northampton, who have gorged themselves on every League Two opponent this season, continued the gluttony by devouring Blackheath 69-10. Gregor Townsend scored three tries while Jonathan Bell helped himself to two. London Scottish kept up their 100 per cent record by beating Bedford 50- 10, but ambitious Newcastle are now second from bottom after losing 29- 26 at home to Waterloo.

Wales fly-half Neil Jenkins completed a century of Heineken League points in just six games as Pontypridd returned to the top of the table with a 55-17 mauling of Abertillery. Wayne Proctor's two tries, lifting his league tally to 49, helped previous leaders Llanelli to squeeze past Newbridge 17-9. Cardiff struggled to beat Ebbw Vale 16-10 and slipped to third.

French fly-half Thierry Lacroix kicked six penalties and a conversion as Natal beat Western Province 25-17 in South Africa's Currie Cup final in Durban.
