Highlanders
Thomson played in three Super 14 matches for the Highlanders in 2006, playing all three from the bench. He was not selected for the Highlanders in 2007 despite having a good season with Otago in the Air New Zealand Cup. Thomson was recalled in 2008, where he played in twelve matches. At the start of the season he was just a substitute, but he played so well that midway through the Super 14 he was their top choice flanker. Thomson scored five tries in the 2008 Super 14, one came in the triumph over the Crusaders.
