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.[1] He has international experience with the Samoan national team as well with the Australian Secondary Schools side. He has signed with Moana Pasifika for the 2022 Super Rugby Pacific season.[2]
Lam was born in Hamilton but moved to Wellington at an early age and then to Canberra where he attended St Edmund's College.[citation needed] He made the Australian Secondary Schools' side in 2004 and 2005. He is a cousin of former All Black and Samoan international Pat Lam. Lam's first year in the Australian Schools team was at centre, before he was converted into a loose forward the following year and made the team again as a flanker.
