Arsenal's Aaron Ramsey has implored the Wales football team to follow in the footsteps of their nation's rugby team.

Wales, who got off to a dream start in Euro2016 with a 2-1 win against Slovakia on Saturday, are set to face England in their next group match on Thursday.

The Welsh rugby team famously defeated the English at Wembley Stadium in 1999, and Ramsey wants his teammates to recreate history in Lens.

"I've had a few messages off the rugby players," said Ramsey.

"Scott Quinnell sent quite a funny one.

"Hopefully we can win like them.

"It's been a long time since we beat them. It's about time we changed that.

"We've ticked off a few things along the way and we've closed the gap, and hopefully we can show that on the big stage.

"We want to match them, then go on and better them."
