Thom Evans had a breakthrough season in 2004/2005 as he followed an impressive performance against the Stormers in his first XV debut with his first Premiership appearance against Worcester in April. He also received an invitation from England Seven Coach, Mike Friday, to play in the 'Samurai' development seven in Amsterdam after a starring performance during the Floodlit Sevens at Rosslyn Park with the A Team Seven.

Evans comes from a strong sporting family as his mother, Sally Evans, was the 100M provincial champion for Durban Province in South Africa. His father, Brian Evans was a professional golfer that won a few opens on the European tour.

Although Evans moved into the Academy from Wellington College, he has travelled down some very unique roads in his life outside of rugby. It's quite easy for Evans to say that if he were not playing rugby, he would be a rock star because ' at least for a while ' he already was. He and his group, Twen2y 4 se7en, were beginning to draw some rather large crowds by the time that he made the make or break decision to leave a music career behind and focus on rugby full-time.

Evans admits, however, that he still wants to be a pin-up with his face on every wall and he's still known to break out some moves on the dance floor. He also enjoys playing golf, seeing films, and listening to music.
