Let's make this birthday one to remember.

50 years old (Born on July 26, 1974)

Happy Birthday, Kees Meeuws! The man who tackled scrums harder than most of us tackle birthday cake. With 42 Tests for the All Blacks and appearances in both the 1999 and 2003 Rugby World Cups, you've certainly earned your legendary status—though we're still debating whether your greatest achievement was dominating opponents or surviving team karaoke nights.

From bulldozing through front rows to scoring tries that made props everywhere proud (and backs jealous), you've given rugby fans countless memorable moments. May this year bring you as much joy as watching an Aussie scrum collapse under pressure. Cheers to another year of greatness!
