A long stint in a Japanese hospital is over for former All Blacks forward Adam Thomson.
The 35-year-old was released this week from Tsukaba Memorial Hospital in Tokyo after overcoming a spinal infection.
Thomson needed treatment for just short of two months.
The 29-Test veteran, who plays professionally in Japan, was admitted on December 19 after finding it inexplicably a struggle to walk.
Thomson expressed relief at his release in a social media post.
