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.A mistake by the Scottish Rugby Union's online retail partner inadvertently led to T-shirts boasting of a Calcutta Cup win being put up for sale ahead of Saturday's RBS 6 Nations opener between Scotland and England.
An incorrect selection in a website stock check by Greaves Sports resulted in T-shirts produced following the 2008 Calcutta Cup win at Murrayfield being re-released, declaring "Calcutta Cup. Scotland. Winners."
The error over the four-year-old garments was made on Friday and corrected yesterday.
A spokesman for Greaves Sports said: "This was nothing more than an administrative error with some old stock ending up on the website by mistake.
"These T-shirts were hugely popular back in 2008 when Scotland last took Calcutta Cup honours and hopefully this will be a good omen for Saturday and they'll end up in demand once more."
England won the last meeting between the sides to eliminate Scotland from the World Cup in October.
Scotland head coach Andy Robinson is yet to taste victory over England, the defending Six Nations champions who will be seeking their first win in Edinburgh since 2004, having lost in 2006 and 2008 and drawn in 2010.
