Gatland lifted the lid on the extraordinary lengths Wales were going to when detailing a recent visit to the Green Mile army-style fitness camp in Taffs Well. He explained how the intention was to take players out of their comfort zones and prepare them to deal with unexpected challenges but the use of such extreme techniques has raised eyebrows.
