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.Glasgow at least had the consolation of some Pool B points to show for 80 minutes of lacklustre European Cup action at Ravenhill, in Belfast, last night where the crowd waited in vain for a glimpse of panache or flair.
On a night of poor handling, it was Glasgow who pounced on mistakes to take two points in a contest between the two minnows of a pool that also includes Swansea and Wasps.
Ulster led 6-3 after an early flurry of penalties, but then threw away their chance. When they looked likely to score from a pushover try the ball popped out of the side of the scrum and Glasgow counter-attacked. James Craig, their left-winger, won possession and had an easy sprint to the line with Tommy Hayes converting to give Glasgow the lead for the first time.
Then a minute from half-time Stuart Laing tried a short drop-out but Glasgow took possession and flanker Fergie Wallace sprinted through the Ulster defence to give his side a 15-6 interval lead. Although Ulster's Laing then landed a fine drop goal they found no way back.
