Thompson has a big few weeks coming up, to follow a big season. He is back in the sort of form and fitness that will make him the cornerstone of the England pack and England is in a place in the front row where they need somebody to lead by example and show the young props we have the way. Him and Havard should both be shoe ins for that first test in a couple of weeks.
I can't recall the last time a prop forward was signed of his quality and instantly produced top class performances week in week out. I can't recall a bad game all season from him.
There's playing big minutes and then there is being effective still for big minutes. Thompson was fantastic from minute 1 to minute what 60 when he was brought off? Brilliant.
We are stacked in the front row department but Thompson is a cut above them all in my opinion. A shoe in for England.
