Happy Birthday to the one and only Joeli Vidiri—master of sidesteps, king of try-lines, and inspiration behind the unforgettable tune "Give Me Hope Joeli!" Your lightning-fast feet danced into rugby history with an incredible 43 tries in 61 epic Super 12 games for Auckland Blues. Rumor has it even opponents secretly hummed your song between tackles!Thank you for making every match a spectacle filled with pace, style, and laughter. Although your dazzling runs may have embarrassed some defenders (okay—a lot!), fans everywhere still chant your name fondly today. Stay legendary as always; give us hope forever more—happy birthday!
