Let's make this birthday one to remember.

50 years old (Born on February 03, 1975)

Happy birthday, Brad Thorn! You tackled Father Time better than most forwards tackle opposition: relentlessly and without mercy. From your epic battles with the Broncos to winning Best Forward three times (1997, 2000, and yet again in 2006—show off!), you made rugby look easy while making opponents wonder if trains just wore jerseys now.

Forget trophies; your greatest victory was convincing everyone that a prop could be timeless. Each birthday should come with another medal for defying age like only Brad Thorn can—stubbornly running through barriers like cake at an all-you-can-eat dessert buffet.

Keep carrying life's ball forward—you legend!
