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.Jason Robinson is to lend his World Cup expertise to his original code of rugby this autumn. The dual international who left Rugby League in 2000 for a glittering Union career that included winning the 2003 World Cup, has been appointed dual code ambassador by Gillette, who will sponsor England in the Rugby League World Cup in Australia.
England coach Tony Smith has already made plans to consult him. "I've told him I want to pick his brains," he said. "It might cost me a lunch, but it has to be worthwhile after all the experience he has had."
Robinson will also be involved in coaching sessions for players at junior clubs. "Rugby League for me is where it all started," he said. "It's nice to be putting something back into the game."
