KEY POINTS:
All Blacks flanker Adam Thomson will appear in Hastings Districts court tomorrow charged with assault after an early morning incident in Havelock North yesterday.
Police sources confirmed Thomson had been charged with assaulting a woman, the Dominion Post reported today.
New Zealand Rugby Union professional rugby manager Neil Sorenson was aware of the incident, but said it would be inappropriate to make further comment as it was a police matter.
Thomson, who plays Super 14 rugby for the Highlanders, was on annual leave, Highlanders chief executive Richard Reid said, adding it was too soon to talk about disciplinary measures.
Thomson made his debut for the All Blacks in Wellington this year against Ireland.
