Adam Thomson pictured with partner Jessie Gurunathan in the Tsukuba Memorial Hospital in Tokyo. Thomson's partner, reality TV star Jessie Gurunathan, rushed the 29-test All Black to the Tsukuba Memorial Hospital in Tokyo, later describing the past week as ''one hell of an ordeal'' and ''the biggest fright''. Mr Howard-Smith said Thomson was still in hospital but was ''comfortable'', receiving antibiotics and pain relief medication and was not in any danger. He experienced ''serious lumbar pain and temporary leg/foot numbness'' before being admitted to hospital but had since regained his mobility, Howard-Smith said. ''Of course, especially his partner Jessie and family who have been pillars of rock through this difficult time.''
