ENGLAND HAVE TO FIGHT FOR THEIR 4-2 VICTORY OVER WALES AT ROKER PARK
One Of The Best Internationals Seen For Some Time

The football all through reached a high standard.
Wales matched England's cleverness with more thrust in attack and they put up a grand fight. Seldom was the ball ballooned aimlessly.
