The victory provides a positive end to the term for Chelsea, who are entering a new era under Bompastor. Thompson believes the spirit shown during the World Sevens can be a platform for future success. "Having a lot of fun together is something we kind of lost during the season, so having a lot of fun together, believing in each other, and being able to come back from things that might seem impossible is something we can bring into next season," the forward explained.
