The 32-year-old played for NSW Waratahs and ACT Brumbies in Super Rugby and also had a stint with French club Grenoble, earning one cap for Australia in 2012 against Scotland. "I was trapped in a false narrative and could see no way out," he said in becoming only the second international to publicly acknowledge he is gay after former Wales captain Gareth Thomas, who came out in 2009."Most nights, I cried myself to sleep and routinely numbed myself with a heavy cocktail of opioids," he wrote.

Despite his demons, Palmer said he enjoyed his time at the Waratahs and Brumbies and never felt discriminated against, insisting"the battle for me was primarily with myself".

Scrum made him feel and touch funny things😂

It's the scrums that entice them to go that way.
