Jack Lam

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.
