Congratulations to Banjo on his selection for tomorrow’s test match against Australia, and welcome back to International colours. When he retired in 2007 due to a serious neck injury, few would have thought such a comeback was possible. Dom and I met Steve Thompson outside the Stade de France about an hour after England had beaten France in the last World Cup semi-final. He came across as a humble, friendly and genuinely nice guy who was happy to talk with fans and pose for photos. You could also sense his great delight at England’s success, despite his personal situation. It’s great to see he is now back at the top. In his prime he was a seriously big, nasty and obdurate unit who had the skills of a centre. Let’s hope for some more of that tomorrow!
