See why KFC has been slammed for holding an 'impossible' fan challenge at a footy match
KFC is under fire from fired-up footy fans who've labelled one of its recent 'Catch the Colonel' challenges during a rugby match as 'impossible'.
The promotional challenge, held during the halftime break between the Blues and Chiefs Super Rugby match at FMG Stadium Waikato, sees fans get the chance to win a full year of KFC by racing a digital version of Colonel Sanders.
On this occasion, the fan didn't stand a chance in the 60m dash, with the digital Colonel Sanders much too quick for him to catch.
Fans watching at home took to social media to post about the race, with several clips on TikTok going viral.
'KFC stitched up this guy big time. Even Usain Bolt can't catch the Colonel,' posted one user.
'If the bro left yesterday he'd still would have lost,' replied another.
'They ain't tryna give away free wings for nobody,' joked a third.
Daily Mail Australia has contacted KFC for comment.
Meanwhile, the Blues ended up stunning the minor premier Chiefs with a thrilling last-minute 20-19 victory.
The Chiefs will next play the Brumbies in the Super Rugby Pacific semi-final.
No Australian side has ever won a knock-out game in New Zealand in the almost 30-year history of Super Rugby and the Brumbies' last three seasons have ended in semi-final defeats across the ditch.
Despite this record Lolesio said the Brumbies wouldn't be shifting far from the game plan that helped to dispatch the Hurricanes 35-28 in their qualifying final in Canberra.
'The Blues play a bit different to how we play but if anything, it just shows that if you show up physically with the right mindset you put yourself in a good position to win, so that's where our heads are at as a team,' Lolesio said on Monday in Canberra.

'Nothing really changes for us in how we play our game right now; we know our game works and it's very effective and efficient so we just have to back our systems in place and game plan.
'If everyone just does their job to the best of their ability, hopefully we put ourselves in a good position to get a good result.'

John Terry's Chelsea 'frustration' speaks volumes - and will worry Enzo Maresca
EXCLUSIVE: John Terry won the Premier League five times during his Chelsea career but believes the Blues are still a way from winning another title John Terry has admitted Chelsea are 'a few years away' from competing for the Premier League title. Chelsea legend Terry has also warned that his former club can only gain experience and attract the biggest players through winning major trophies. The Blues finished the season on a high after lifting the Europa Conference League trophy, getting a Champions League place and now also jet off to the Club World Cup in the United States. Terry won trophies galore during his glittering career at Stamford Bridge during Roman Abramovich's reign when the likes of Didier Drogba and Eden Hazard turned them into champions. Former England captain Terry says he now feels frustrated that Chelsea's young squad are not closer to challenging the likes of Liverpool, Arsenal and Manchester City for the biggest prizes. Terry said: 'I get frustrated because I want Chelsea to be winning the biggest trophies. Are we close? I think we are still a few years away from competing for the Premier League again. "We need to catch Arsenal, Man City and Liverpool to even have a chance of doing that. 'I think we need experience. I think it's through winning. If we're competing for a top striker, a top keeper, I know where I'd be going. 'Fans need to understand that to sign top players and improve your group then you have to attract the best players then you have to win and compete for the biggest trophies. 'That's the Champions League, the Premier League and we're not doing that at the minute. We probably have to say: 'we'll take the second best striker, the third best striker, whatever that looks like.' That's where we are. Watch the Club World Cup free on DAZN £0 DAZN Get DAZN here Product Description 'That's probably why we've gone down the younger route at the minute and we haven't got players of the calibre of Didier, Hazard and these guys wanting to come to Chelsea because we are the best and we are guaranteed to win a trophy.' Terry says his first title remains the highlight of his glittering career. Terry led Chelsea to the Premier League crown in 2005 under Jose Mourinho which was their first championship in 50 years. Terry said: 'I think the first one, the title in 04/05, the first Premier League, the first one at Stamford Bridge but also the first title in a very long time and we took that back to the Bridge.' John Terry was speaking about Chelsea and the upcoming FIFA Club World Cup. Watch every game from the FIFA Club World Cup on DAZN for free..

Taylor Swift fans beg Travis Kelce to cover up as he nearly repeats wardrobe malfunction on date night
Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift stole the show at the Stanley Cup on Thursday night but there was one moment where even the Swifties feared seeing a little too much of the NFL star. The power couple are spending time in Florida while Kelce is getting in shape for the upcoming NFL season. But they took some time for themselves on Thursday night with a surprise appearance as the Panthers lost a breathtaking game 5-4 to the Edmonton Oilers, who tied the series at 2-2. Swift, 35, stunned in her elegant sweatsuit while the Chiefs star turned up in a Kansas City red sweater and shorts which, in the eyes of some fans watching from home, were a little too short. At one stage during the game, cameras zoomed in on the couple deep in conversation in their VIP suite, fans feared Kelce was going to endure a wardrobbe malfunction he infamously endured once before in an interview with Andrew Santino. 'Travis please close your legs I feel anxious,' one Swftie wrote, resharing the clip. Another said: 'I DIDNT WANNA BE THE ONE TO SAY IT but holy hell the manspreading. I'm stressing for him.' A different fan said: 'She looks amazing here. So much so that I didn't even notice his potential wardrobe malfunction.' It isn't the first time Kelce has been under a bit of extra scrutiny for his short shorts. Before he started dating Swift, Kelce endured the same fashion faux-pas in an interview on his friend Santino's podcast. Santino recalled the incident during his 2024 New Heights appearance, saying: 'We set up [my podcast] at the crib because we were moving, and so it was kind of a tight squeeze and the cameras and the angles, all this stuff. 'And my editor calls me, and he's like, "Bro, I don't know how to tell you this, but Travis was falling out of his shorts.... his boys were sliding out". 'And I was like, 'Oh, no.' And he goes, 'Do you wanna, like, call him and reshoot it?' I said, 'Just put a Kansas City Chiefs logo over his package whenever it falls out.' 'I didn't have my Tommy John's on,' an amused Kelce joked to Santino about the incident. And true to his word, Santino broadcast the 2020 interview with the Chiefs logo protecting Travis. After nearly retiring after the Chiefs lost the Super Bowl to the Philadelphia Eagles in February, Kelce is returning for at least one more season with the Chiefs in the NFL. They begin their 2025 campaign in Brazil, against the Los Angeles Chargers in Sao Paulo on September 5. Reports this week have said that Swift is more excited than ever for the football season to begin. It is the first time she can follow Kelce without tour dates to play since they started dating in September 2023.

Tonight's rugby news as former WRU president dies and Springbok wants teams to exit 'stupid' URC
Tonight's rugby news as former WRU president dies and Springbok wants teams to exit 'stupid' URC The latest rugby news and headlines from Wales and beyond Frans Steyn thinks the Souh African sides should play in Super Rugby, not the URC (Image: Getty Images ) Here are your rugby evening headlines for Friday, June 13. Former WRU president dies aged 91 Former Welsh Rugby Union president Des Barnett has died at the age of 91. Barnett served the Mid District for 20 years as their WRU member before becoming president of the union in 1986. 52 at the time, he was the youngest president in the WRU's history. During his year in charge, Wales played their first international against England in Pontypool, while the first men's Rugby World Cup was held. Born in Treherbert in 1933, he had succeeded Carey Powell as a WRU member for District C at the start of the 1965-66 season, joining Bargoed's Glyn Morgan as the Mid District representatives. Barnett was able to make major contributions to the game in Wales, through his long-standing service on the coaching sub-committee. He was also a member of the general committee during the union's centenary season of 1980-81 and helped with the organisation of the centenary dinner held at the City Hall in Cardiff. At the end of the teachers strike in the 1980s, he pushed for the leading players in Wales to be used to provide coaching clinics to re-engage those youngsters who had become disillusioned and disengaged with the national sport.

Article continues below World Cup winner slams 'stupid' flaw with URC Two-time World Cup winner Frans Steyn has revealed he is not a fan of the United Rugby Championship and wants South African teams to return to Super Rugby. Last year, Cheetahs director of rugby Steyn said he is hopeful his side could make a move to a southern hemisphere competition like Super Rugby. The Cheetahs initially played in the Pro14 tournament, before being replaced by the South African's Super Rugby franchises in 2021 to form the current iteration of the URC. When ex-All Blacks and Crusaders full-back Israel Dagg expressed his displeasure last year at the decision which led to South Africa's departure from Super Rugby , Steyn tweeted a response which said: 'There are other teams in SA that want the opportunity!!' The Cheetahs currently play in the Currie Cup, while also competing in the second tier of European rugby - the Challenge Cup. However, despite having spells in Europe in his playing days, Steyn - who won the World Cup in 2007 and 2019 - said he would rather South African sides played in the southern hemisphere. 'For me personally, I think we should go back to the old Super Rugby," he said on the Behind The Ruck podcast. 'I just think there was something else (with that tournament). It was something different. I think the young guys of today definitely miss out. 'If you think of when we went on tours and four and five-week tours, it was one tour, not every second week on a plane. (It's) A stupid thing, this new calendar that we are in. If you have kids, you never have time off. 'You can't go on holiday. When do you go on holiday? And then December. Normally, we went away in December. Now you have to play. 'I remember when I got to France the first time, I had to play on Sundays and Sundays. My dad was angry because you don't play on a Sunday. 'Now we freaking play over Christmas and all of that.' WRU make announcement The Welsh Rugby Union has confirmed that the cut-off age for youth rugby in Wales will remain at 18 after an extensive consultation process over the last year. Previously, youth rugby in Wales had used a three-year banding - from under-17s to under-19s - but a review process that included "representation from 195 rugby clubs across Wales and key stakeholders of the game" indicated that the move to a two-year bandng had seen a "significant positive impact on retention of players and also created stronger transition figures for those moving into the adult game". The WRU say that 91 per cent of U17 and U18s were having a positive experience when moving into youth rugby, while they added the number of U16s moving into youth rugby had increased. The Union also believe that the two-year banding will help clubs field adult men's teams more consistently, with more players likely to move up from youth rugby. 'I'm delighted the Community Game Board made the decision to retain U18 as the official age banding for boys' youth rugby in Wales which was ratified by the WRU Board last month," said WRU Executive Director of Community Geraint John. Join WalesOnline Rugby's WhatsApp Channel here to get the breaking news sent straight to your phone for free 'We are incredibly encouraged by the positive impact the revised U18s age banding has had across our community game as it shows that this structure is creating the right environment for young people to thrive. 'The positive effect it's created has seen a significant impact on individual self-confidence as it offers a smoother transition through the age ranges and keeps young people playing for longer.' He added: 'It's also encouraging that over 1,000 U19 players have registered for senior rugby in each of the last two seasons which is a comparative increase of 400+ more players than in 2019. "This is a positive indication that young players are staying engaged with the game after 18. 'We now look forward to building on this progress and continuing to support the development and enjoyment of everyone involved in the game, ensuring there is a clear pathway and playing opportunities into senior rugby.' Scotland captain signs new contract after Lions blow By Gavin McCafferty, PA Rory Darge has followed his appointment as Scotland captain with an extended Glasgow contract. Warriors announced the openside flanker had signed a new three-year deal. The 25-year-old – who earlier this week was named as Scotland captain for the upcoming Pacific Tour after missing out on the Lions tour to Australia – has made 67 appearances for the club and his 2024-25 form saw him impress with and without the ball. Darge recorded 39 tackles in a match at Ulster – a total only bettered by Jonny Gray in Glasgow colours – and equalled a BKT United Rugby Championship record for a forward when he beat 10 defenders against Benetton last month. The former Southern Knights and Edinburgh player described his decision to extend his deal as 'fairly straightforward'. He told 'I love my time in Glasgow and the club is the best place for me to be just now – I'm loving my rugby and this is the best possible place for me to keep developing. 'The competition at Scotstoun is something that's definitely played a role in continuing to develop me, particularly this season with how well the young guys came in and played. 'Everyone that came in took their opportunity really well, which is a testament to this environment and the coaching that we get, and that only bodes well for the future of this club. 'I've really started to enjoy the leadership role over the last season or so, both for Scotland and for Glasgow – I've enjoyed being able to support Steyno (Kyle Steyn) on and off the field, and it's an exciting part of the game for me.' Article continues below Head coach Franco Smith added: 'Rory has developed into one of the best in his position in Europe and we still believe that he is only scratching the surface of his potential. 'His work in both attack and defence makes him an invaluable asset for both club and country; his statistics speak for themselves and only serve to underline his quality. 'He has developed into a leader within our environment over the last few seasons, and being named as Scotland captain is a well-deserved reflection of this development.'
