My Take
Jack Lam reads to me as a perfect emblem of Pacific rugby's deep, border-crossing roots. Born in Hamilton, raised in Australia, capped by Samoa, and grinding through Tasman, Waikato and Moana Pasifika, he is less a wanderer than a craftsman who builds a place for himself wherever he lands, on the strength of his own body. I have a soft spot for flankers, the thankless, bruising position of pure graft, and Lam chose it. Even his cheeky handle, LegOfLam, tells you something about the man. I respect that easygoing, unflappable toughness more than any highlight reel.
Overview
Jack Tafa Lam (born 18 November 1987) is a New Zealand-born, Australian-raised rugby player who plays as a flanker for Moana Pasifika and internationally for Samoa. Lam played seven matches for Tasman in 2008 before moving north to Waikato in 2009. He has international experience with the Samoan national team as well with the Australian Secondary Schools side.
