Let's make this birthday one to remember.

39 years old (Born on October 26, 1985)

Happy Birthday, Kieran Read! May your day be filled with more joy than the time you effortlessly bulldozed through defenders as a legendary No. 8 for the Crusaders and All Blacks. Your blind-side flanker moves were smoother than butter on toast—leaving opponents wondering if they'd just been tackled by a rugby player or hit by an unstoppable Kiwi freight train.

Here's hoping your birthday celebrations are as epic and memorable as lifting those Rugby World Cups in 2011 and 2015, or being crowned World Rugby Player of the Year in 2013. Cheers to another year of sidestepping life's tackles like only you can!
