"Melbourne was tough... I had some really dark days where things got tough and all those negative thoughts come into your mind, the 'why me' and 'should I just give up' type stuff, but to be able to come out the other side of that has been quite an amazing thing."The 29-year-old hasn't ruled out making a return to the rugby pitch and wants to add to his Super Rugby and International caps.
