Lam's tackle numbers stand out across these three World Cup appearances, averaging nearly 12 per match and peaking at 16 in a single game — a workload that marks him as a primary defensive force at the back of the scrum. He contributes steadily with ball in hand, averaging just under seven carries a match, and his best carrying performance of 11 carries for 21 metres shows he can take on a bigger physical role when required. The combination of reliable tackling volume and disciplined carrying makes him a high-impact presence in the tight exchanges.
