Thompson's numbers tell the story of a flanker built around defensive output, averaging close to nine tackles per match across ten appearances in three competitions. His carrying is modest in both volume and gain, suggesting his primary value lies off the ball rather than as a ball-carrier. A peak of eighteen tackles in a single game underlines the kind of high-intensity defensive shifts he is capable of producing.
