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.

Australia have made four enforced changes for the one-off Test against Canada on Saturday with Daniel Herbert (centre), Dan Crowley (prop), Scott Bowen (fly-half) and Mark Bell (hooker) coming in to replace Joe Roff (thumb), Ewen McKenzie (ankle fracture), Pat Howard (groin) and Marco Caputo (ankle ligaments).

AUSTRALIA (v Canada, Brisbane, 29 June): M Burke; B Tune, D Herbert, T Horan, D Campese; S Bowen, S Payne; M Brial, D Wilson, O Finegan, J Eales (capt), G Morgan, D Crowley, M Bell, R Harry.

Rowen Shepherd and Kevin McKenzie have shared Scotland's Player of the Tour award for the recent New Zealand trip. Full-back Shepherd scored 23 points in the two Tests against the All Blacks while the hooker McKenzie was described by his direct opponent the All Blacks captain Sean Fitzpatrick as "an outstanding player".
