Let's make this birthday one to remember.

43 years old (Born on February 17, 1982)

Happy birthday to everyone's favorite tighthead, Guy Shepherdson! May your special day be as rock-solid and unshakeable as your legendary scrums for the Reds and Wallabies. Even Father Time knows it's pointless trying to tackle a prop of your caliber.

Your rise from Indonesia-born talent to Australian rugby hero has inspired many—clearly you've had practice bulldozing life's challenges just like opposition forwards. Today, we celebrate all those iconic performances where you made rival props reconsider their career choices. Keep pushing forward (literally!) because we still haven't found anyone brave enough—or foolish enough—to replace you.

Have an incredible birthday, Shep!
