Across 14 matches as a replacement, Lam has built a consistent profile anchored by his defensive work, averaging over four tackles per appearance with a single-game peak of 13 — figures that point to an immediate, disruptive presence when introduced. His carrying numbers are modest but functional, suggesting his primary value lies in defensive solidity rather than ball-in-hand threat. The 476 minutes accumulated across Champions Cup, Top 14, and Rugby World Cup competition reflect steady, recurring trust in his ability to hold the line late in matches.
