In part one of the Drew Mitchell interview, he relives breaking his leg in 2011 against his old team the Reds in Brisbane on the eve of the World Cup.
“In my own opinion, I was in the form of my career and then for that to happen on the eve of the World Cup.
“I remember looking down and my foot was facing the other way. That’s what rattled me the most. I also remember they relocated the ankle on the field, there was a lady that came over with a green whistle and she was trying to put the vial, it’s like the morphine, in the whistle, and she was spilling it everywhere.
“I soon as I sucked on that, the pain was fine.
“I remember going up the tunnel, and of course I’m a former Queensland Reds player that left the club, and I just hear this ‘suck s*** Mitchell, you c***’. I don’t know why, but that one moment stuck out.”
