Across three Super Rugby appearances as a replacement, Thompson has shown a compact but purposeful carrying game, consistently moving the ball forward from limited touches. His tackle numbers stand out most — averaging over two per match in short stints, with a single-game high of six, suggesting he arrives on the field with defensive intent. His best carrying performance of 12 metres from four carries points to an ability to make his minutes count when given the opportunity.
