Let's make this birthday one to remember.

40 years old (Born on July 11, 1984)

Happy Birthday, Morne Steyn! May your celebrations be more spot-on than that legendary 2009 kick against the British & Irish Lions. South Africans still raise their glasses to the moment you calmly dropped goals as effortlessly as most people drop their car keys.

From dominating at Loftus Versfeld with another perfectly-booted penalty, to winning crucial tests under unbearable pressure (seriously, our hearts are just now recovering), you've set a standard hard to match. Here's hoping today doesn't feature any narrow-angle cake slicing—leave those precision kicks and cuts for game days!

Cheers Morne—you’ve truly earned legend status, one bootprint at a time!
