Watch: Wales rugby fan takes on ‘crazy’ Six Nations challenge
Four days ago Rhodri Williams took to social media to announce he was going to set himself a challenge.
For each point Wales lose a game by in the Six Nations, he’s going to run a mile.

All the rules of the challenge are explained in the video below (posted on Instagram). He will complete each challenge in the days after each Wales game.

As you can imagine there were quite a few amusing comments after Rhodri posted his challenge…

This stunt reminds me of those cowards who slyly kick a player when they’re trapped in a ruck, then squirm away when that injured played gets back on their feet and goes looking for him.
