Chapman usaually plays at the position of Blindside Flanker but can also cover the Second Row and Number 8. His running game has an uncanny likeness to a breakaway horse.

Mitchell has represented Australia at both u21 level for both years of 2003 and 2004 and captained the Australian schoolboys in 2001, the highlight of his short career was a call up halfway through the 2006 Wallabies Spring Tour to replace to injured Dan Vickerman.

Mitchell was a fine cricket talent in his school years and represented Queensland at U/17 and U/19 age groups. He lists other interests as golf, fishing, surfing and bird watching.
