1 - Mako Vunipola (Saracens): The England international had a very impressive game at Twickenham, and he took on Ulster's defence from the start with an impressive five carries in the first eight minutes. Despite some problems early on in the scrum

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.

After four nail-biting encounters on both sides of the channel, the Heineken Cup semi-finalists have now been confirmed.

Clermont Auvergne were the first to qualify, beating Montpellier to set-up a clash with two-time champions Munster, who upset the odds with an away win over Harlequins.

The second semi-final will see Aviva Premiership leaders Saracens return to Twickenham - the scene of their quarter-final victory over Ulster - to take on Top 14 table-toppers Toulon, who saw off the threat of Leicester Tigers thanks to a world famous boot.

But who made it into our Heineken Cup team of the weekend?
