RUGBY UNION: YOUR CHANCE TO JOIN THE DEBATE ON RUGBY'S FUTURE
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.Rugby union is emerging from months of turmoil as it starts to cope with the challenges of the new professional era. The future, however, remains uncertain and the game faces important decisions over its future.
A seminar in London next month will offer everyone within the sport, from players and coaches to admininistrators and fans, a chance to discuss the state of the game.
The seminar, organised by Rugby News magazine in association with The Independent and SBC Warburg, will be held at the QE2 Conference Centre, Westminster on Friday 28 February.
Entitled "Rugby's Future - a discussion on the state of the game", the seminar will be attended by leading figures throughout the sport.
Speakers will include Nick Farr-Jones, the former Australia captain; Tony Hallett, the secretary of the RFU; Cliff Morgan, the legendary former British Lion and Wales international; and Dan Rooney, President of the Pittsburgh Steelers American football club.
A registration fee of pounds 29.50 includes mid-morning coffee, lunch and afternoon tea for delegates. The seminar will start at 9.15 and conclude at approximately 5.30 or 6.00.
