Pat Lam vows to hand over Connacht in good shape

Pat Lam says Connacht have got the perfect man to replace him in Chiefs’ attack coach Kieran Keane.

Lam said he was delighted with the appointment of the former Tasman head coach and current Chiefs’ assistant coach, and he promised he would do his best to ensure a smooth transfer of power.

It was also confirmed by Connacht that Keane will not be joining the province until the end of July at the earliest, but Lam insists that Connacht have secured the right man to carry on the development despite this delay.
