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.Olo Brown, the New Zealand prop, has been ruled out of the rest of the 1998 season after suffering a disc prolapse in his back during the Tri-Nations Test against South Africa in Durban on 15 August.
Australia face a catalogue of injuries ahead of next Saturday's final Bledisloe Cup match against New Zealand as they bid to pick themselves up from their Tri-Nations defeat in South Africa. The Wallabies beaten by the in-form Springboks 29-15 at the weekend have only five days to recover. Centre Daniel Herbert (hamstring), his partner Tim Horan (knee), wing Ben Tune (knee), flyhalf Steve Larkham (chin and lower back), flanker Matt Cockbain (thigh) and prop Andrew Blades (Achilles) are the main worries.
