Charles Thompson was an Irish international rugby union player.[1]
Born in Belfast, Thompson captained Collegians and was capped 13 times for Ireland from 1907 to 1910.[2] His first two matches came at fullback, then from 1908 he was utilised purely as a three-quarter. He scored five tries for Ireland, including two in a win over France at Lansdowne Road in 1909.[3]
