Let's make this birthday one to remember.

41 years old (Born on December 12, 1983)

Happy Birthday, Jarrad Hoeata! From storming onto the rugby scene in 2011 with both the Highlanders and All Blacks, you've tackled your way into Kiwi hearts faster than a scrum-half dodging tackles. Your fierce determination on the field has always been matched by that legendary sense of humor off it—proving you're as skilled at cracking jokes as you are at breaking defensive lines.

Whether dominating lineouts or bringing intensity to every ruck, your contributions remain unforgettable. Here's hoping this birthday brings fewer bruises than match days—but just as many laughs. Cheers to another year of epic tries and timeless banter!
