Let's make this birthday one to remember.

35 years old (Born on October 10, 1989)

Happy Birthday, Ben Whittaker! From your fearless days hooking for the Western Force (2009-2013), where you tackled opponents harder than most people tackle birthday cake, to your adventures with Biarritz Olympique in France—your rugby journey has been nothing short of legendary. May today bring fewer scrums and more celebrations!

Here's hoping this year brings as much excitement as those unforgettable line-outs and powerful drives you've given fans over the years. Keep tackling life head-on—but maybe ease up on any birthday candles; we wouldn't want a repeat of that fiery intensity from your playing days! Cheers to another fantastic year ahead!
