Wales 11 England 9
Wales have beaten England 11-9 in the opening game of the 2005 RBS Six Nations.
Henson scored a late penalty to send the Principality into raptures after England had clawed their way back into the match and were leading with less than ten minutes to go, but Henson held his nerve, and slotted over the crucial kick.
The win will give Mike Ruddock's men a boost before they travel to Italy next week, but the manner of the defeat will give England Head Coach Andy Robinson selection headaches ahead of next weekend's now crucial battle against current RBS Six Nations Champions France at Twickenham.
