Jim Thompson celebrated a double feat during the Scotland 'A'’s opening match of the 2009 IRB Nations Cup; not only did he score two tries against Russia, but he also played alongside his cousin, former Edinburgh scrum half Rory Lawson for the first time.
 
The 24-year-old crossed the whitewash twice during the first half of the 49-7 win over the eastern European team and, in the second half, was joined on the pitch by scrum-half Lawson – much to his delight.
 
Thompson said: “It was fantastic to get an opportunity to play with Rory. It is a great honour to play for Scotland with a member of your family and hopefully we’ll able to do it again."
