Let's make this birthday one to remember.

42 years old (Born on August 21, 1982)

Happy Birthday, Jason Eaton! Just like your legendary lineout steals for the Hurricanes from 2006 to 2013, may you leap high above everyone else today—especially when reaching for cake. Your towering presence on the field always made opponents nervous; hopefully now it just helps you spot birthday presents hidden in tricky places.

From dominating scrums and thrilling fans at Westpac Stadium to becoming a rugby icon with that unforgettable beard (seriously impressive!), you've given us countless memorable moments. May this year bring as much joy and success off-field as those glorious days wearing yellow and black did on-field. Cheers!
