Let's make this birthday one to remember.

42 years old (Born on November 16, 1982)

Happy Birthday, Jannie du Plessis! The man who made scrums look like a casual Sunday braai—effortless and always leaving opponents feeling roasted. From your powerhouse performances with the Sharks to those unforgettable battles for the Free State Cheetahs, you've tackled more props than a Hollywood set designer.

Whether bulldozing through defenders or anchoring South Africa's scrum in epic victories, your rugby legacy is as solid as your legendary beard game. May this birthday bring you joy greater than winning against rivals on home turf—and may cake calories vanish faster than opposition front rows facing you! Cheers to many more victorious years ahead!
