Let's make this birthday one to remember.

40 years old (Born on July 17, 1984)

Happy Birthday, Marcel! May your day be filled with more joy than a hooker scoring an unexpected try from the back of a rolling maul. Your legendary moments on the pitch for both Chiefs and Bay of Plenty Steamers have given fans countless reasons to cheer—and opponents plenty to fear!

From dominating scrums like they're birthday cakes waiting to be devoured, you've shown us all how it's done—strength mixed perfectly with style. Here's hoping this year brings you as much success off-field as those unforgettable victories we've celebrated together over time.

Cheers mate; keep hooking life's best opportunities!
