Across 75 matches Thompson has shown a workrate that extends well beyond pure distribution, averaging over five tackles per game and contributing meaningfully with ball in hand at fly half. His peak outputs — 16 carries and 15 tackles in a single match — indicate he can shoulder a significantly heavier physical burden when required. Eight tries over this sample further reflect an ability to threaten the gainline rather than simply operate as a passing pivot.
