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.
