Description:

The Lam name means something in rugby — and Joel Lam is carving his own path within it.


After struggling to break into the professional game, Joel stepped away from rugby and switched to league to keep chasing the dream. Now, he’s back — and rising with Moana Pasifika.


In this episode of Aotearoa Rugby Pod, Joel opens up on:

  • What it’s really like carrying the Lam family name
  • Why he left rugby for league — and why he came back
  • How he finally earned his Super Rugby opportunity


This is more than a comeback story — it’s about identity, legacy, and proving you belong.
