'Everything is very, very healthy'
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.I'm a bit disappointed, to be honest, because we did not score a try, but our commitment was fantastic. I'm delighted that we've beaten them two years running. It's good for English rugby, everything is very, very healthy. No one lost their bottle after our defeat in Dublin – although some of the media did. We've been playing well for two or three years and lost one game and everyone panics.

Clive Woodward, England coach
This is right up there with the best in terms of all-round performance. Today was first class. We kept hold of the ball and dominated possession and territory. We said before the game that win or lose, we do it with dignity and honour. We did not do that in Ireland and we did today. It's been hard work this week, a tough test but the guys pulled through. It's all about winning and that's what we've done.
Neil Back, England captain
They kept coming, didn't they? That's the mark of a great team, they never give up, but it was a great performance by us, what can I say? We had to keep our composure after Dublin and we knew what we had to do.
Graham Rowntree, England forward and man of the match
