This is the moment England went up against Wales in a football match played by rescue centre PUPPIES.

They came up against a Welsh side starring Gurr-eth Bale, Hal Dogson Kanu, James Collie and Joe Leadley.

Sky Sports presenter Chris Kamara was brought in to commentate on the tense occasion, which saw the puppies brawling on the touchline.

The match, which was set up by Dogs Trust ahead of Thursday’s hotly-anticipated game between England and Wales, eventually finished one-one.

Louise Campbell, rehoming centre manager at Dogs Trust Shrewsbury, said: “These adorable puppies are fantastic fun and would make wonderful pets for footy-loving families, whether they’re from England or Wales.

“They are always on the go and have bags of energy so will need active owners who appreciate the demands of a young puppy, and can happily kick a ball about for hours with their new four-legged best friend.”
