 Towards the end of the year Mullins, along with fellow Canberra test players Laurie Daley, Ricky Stuart, Steve Walters and Bradley Clyde took the ARL to court in order to be ruled eligible for selection at the 1995 Rugby League World Cup to be played in the United Kingdom.The players won their court case, though it came as no surprise when only ARL loyal players were selected for the Australian World Cup squad.Following the 1997 Super League season, Mullins was selected to play from the bench for the Australian Super League team against New Zealand in a one-off test at the North Harbour Stadium in Auckland with the Kiwis providing a shock 30–12 win.
