Latrell Mitchell has opened up on his conversations with Kangaroos coach Mal Meninga over his World Cup selection amid his cameo in the Koori Knockout tournament.
Mitchell was a surprise starter at the annual tournament a week before the Kangaroos fly out to begin their World Cup defence in England.
Speaking with reporters at the No Limit Boxing promotion ahead of the Super Saturday Boxing Festival on October 8 at the Newcastle Entertainment Centre, Mitchell is excited for the challenge of trying to bring the World Cup home from England next month.
