Lam lays out ‘vision’ for Connacht

Connacht coach Pat Lam insists aspirational victories over fellow provinces do not define his developing side at the moment.

As Connacht seek a first interprovincial scalp this season, and a first over Munster since 2008, Lam says win or lose, Connacht are focused on a five-year vision.

“We are not defined by outcome, but we are judged by it,” he said. “And true success is not outcome. It is knowing you can look in the mirror and say ‘mate, that was my best today’, or ‘I have to do this better next time’.”
