International career
Mullan represented the England under-20s during their 2007 Six Nations campaign.[7] and was selected for the England Saxons against Ireland A in April 2009, though the game was cancelled due to poor weather conditions.[8]
Mullan did not tour in the summer of 2009 due to a shoulder injury,[8] whilst a torn hamstring thwarted a possible Senior debut in the 2009 Autumn Internationals.[9]
