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.The Welsh selectors are to field an experimental side for the opening match of their mini-tour of South Africa in Witbank on Saturday.
With most of the 24-man squad likely to get a run against Roodeport in a training match today, the coach, Alex Evans, has opted to leave out both the former captain, Ieuan Evans, and the new skipper, Jonathan Humphreys, for the game against South Eastern Transvaal.
The team will be captained by the Pontypridd scrum-half, Paul John, who led Wales A against South Africa in Newport last year. The Swansea stand- off, Aled Williams, bids for the No 10 jersey in the side to face the Springboks on Saturday week.
WALES (v South Eastern Transvaal, at Witbank, on Saturday): J Thomas; A Harries, M Taylor, G Jones, S Hill; A Williams, P John (capt); C Wyatt, M Bennett, A Gibbs, P Arnold, D Jones, L Mustoe, G Jenkins, A Lewis.
