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 New Zealand coach, Graham Henry, has made two changes to his team for the Tri-Nations match against South Africa on Saturday, both coming in the back line, where Joe Rokocoko and Brendon Leonard have been drafted in.
Winger Rokocoko was on the bench for last week's 22-16 win over Australia and comes in for Cory Jane, who drops to the bench, while scrum-half Leonard starts despite failing to make the match XXII last week. Jimmy Cowan filled the position last week, but he has been excluded altogether, with Piri Weepu the replacement No 9 on the bench.
The forward line for the match remains unchanged.
