Saracens did unbelievable job with Auvaa - Lam
Bristol Bears director of rugby Pat Lam tells BBC Radio Bristol Saracens did everything they could for Totoa Auvaa before he was sacked by them.
Bristol Bears' new director of rugby Pat Lam praised Saracens for their efforts in signing and developing Samoan forward Totoa Auvaa. Auvaa, 21, was let go by Saracens earlier this month but Lam believes giving people second chances is important. Saracens provided Auvaa with an English teacher and Maro Itoje, England and British & Irish Lions captain, has been a mentor to him.
Lam hopes Auvaa can positively influence his fellow Samoan and will be a valuable addition to the Bears. Auvaa had only played 20 minutes in a single match for Saracens but Lam expects him to feature in the Prem Cup matches against Sale and Bath in November.
