Adam Thomson (rugby Union)
Adam Thomson (born March 13, 1982) is a New Zealand Rugby union player who plays provincial rugby for Otago, and plays for the Highlanders Super Rugby team. He plays mainly in the number 6 Jersey on the blind side of the scrum. He has been selected for the 2008 All Blacks to play England and Ireland, and made his All Blacks debut against Ireland as a replacement for Rodney So'oialo on 7 June 2008. He is known by fans as the "wooly mammoth" due to his size and hair. He is also known as "Blond Cena" due to his interest in wrestling and his celebration of "You can't see me", a signature taunt/gimmick by John Cena. Thomson is yet to re sign with the NZRU and highlanders and it is widely expected he will be moving over seas. He was not included in the highlanders initial squad or wider training squad.

Famous quotes containing the words adam and/or thomson:
“Certainly Adam in Paradise had not more sweet and curious apprehensions of the world, than I when I was a child.”
—Thomas Traherne (1636–1674)
“The savage soul of game is up at once—
The pack full-opening various, the shrill horn
Resounded from the hills, the neighing steed
Wild for the chase, and the loud hunter’s shout—
O’er a weak, harmless, flying creature, all
Mixed in mad tumult and discordant joy.”
—James Thomson (1700–1748)
