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.Lewis Moody will be out of action for 10 to 12 weeks after undergoing shoulder surgery.
Moody, 33, suffered the injury during Bath's 16-7 Aviva Premiership defeat to Worcester on November 25.
The former England captain has also been sidelined by eye and knee injuries since moving from Leicester to Bath last year, limiting him to just 13 league appearances and four in the Heineken Cup.
Moody was making only his third appearance for Bath since returning from the World Cup when he was injured.
"I'm just gutted for the player himself,'' Bath assistant coach Brad Davis told BBC Radio Bristol.
"He came back enthusiastic in training but I'm sure he's going to give loads off the field now to keep himself occupied.
"It's disappointing but what can you do? He's always played the game that way, he's always going to pick up knocks.''
