Across 20 appearances Thompson has shown a consistent workload at fly half, averaging six tackles per match — a figure that points to genuine defensive involvement rather than a passenger role in the system. His carrying numbers are measured but purposeful, with peak performances of 11 carries and 95 metres in a single game demonstrating the capacity to impose himself physically when the game demands it. The accumulated minutes suggest he is a reliable, regularly selected option at ten.
