Whakaotihia te rerenga e whai ake nei: I tohua a Thompson mo te haerenga raumati o Ingarangi ki Amerika ki te Raki i te tau 2001, i pai tana mahi. I eke ia ki tana tīmatanga whakamātautau mō Ingarangi i te
2002 E ono nga Iwi me te wikitoria ki a Scotland. I eke ia i tana whakamatautau tuatahi ki a Itari i te 2003 Six Nations, he whakataetae i kite i a Ingarangi e wikitoria ana i te Grand Slam. I whai wāhi nui a Thompson ki te haerenga o Ingarangi ki te hemisphere tonga i te Pipiri 2003, i te takaro i nga whakamatautau toa e rua ki a Aotearoa me Ahitereiria.
