Misimoa Benjamin Lam (born 9 June 1991) is a professional rugby union player who plays as a wing for Top 14 club Montpellier. Born in New Zealand, he represents Samoa at international level after qualifying on ancestry grounds.
Lam was born in Auckland, a nephew of rugby player Pat Lam.[5] He was educated at St Peter's College, where he played rugby in the college First XV[6] and excelled at athletics,[7] principally in the 100 metres (breaking 11 seconds) and 200 metres, as well as the long jump.[3] In Wellington, while giving his services to the Hurricanes franchise, Lam is completing his degree in Geography and Marine Biology and pursues his interest in underwater diving around Breaker Bay. He likes reading and he and other Hurricanes players Ardie Savea, Chris Eves and Blade Thomson have promoted a book club.[8]
