1 Wales notched its first victory over England in 18 years with an 18-16 come-from-behind triumph Wednesday night in the rugby league European Championship.
2 The Red Dragons trailed 16-8 with 17 minutes to play, but roared back with a second try from scrum-half Kevin Ellis and a conversion and two drop goals from captain Jonathan Davies.
3 Wales can now clinch the three-team European Championship, which is being contested for the first since 1981, with a victory at France on March 4.
4 England hosts France in the tournament's other match on Feb. 15. All three teams are using the games to prepare for the rugby league World Cup in October.
5 Ellis put Wales ahead in the 19th minute with a try, converted by Davies.
6 Bradford scrum-half Deryck Fox reduced the deficit with a penalty before Hull fullback Richard Gay took Garry Schofield's long pass to touch down and tie the score.
7 Davies converted a penalty two minutes before halftime to give Wales an 8-6 lead at the interval.
8 But two tries in four minutes early in the second period from Fox, who also added a goal, and Wigan winger Jason Robinson suddenly turned the game in England's favor.
9 But Wales rallied late to win it, although a disappointing crowd of only 6,232 was on hand at Ninian Park to celebrate.
