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.Daryl Powell has announced his retirement from the international game.
The 31-year-old, appointed player-coach of Keighley Cougars before setting off on the Great Britain tour, decided to retire after last Friday's second Test against New Zealand.
He has established himself as one of the six most-capped players of all time. Powell, who had 28 Test caps before the start of the tour, made his Test debut in Britain's 8-4 win over France in Perpignan in March 1990, and was in the side that beat the touring Australians at Wembley later that year.
"I know some people think I am lucky to have won all these caps but I have always preferred to do my talking out on the pitch," he said.
