Let's make this birthday one to remember.

47 years old (Born on February 26, 1978)

Happy Birthday, Nathan Sharpe! May your celebrations be as legendary and enduring as your towering presence on the rugby field. From dominating lineouts to leading Western Force with grit and grace between 2006-2011, you've always been a lock who could unlock smiles—even from opponents.

Your leadership inspired teammates; your tackles terrified rivals. While others counted candles each year, you tallied caps for Australia—116 impressive tests of strength (and patience!). Here's hoping this birthday brings fewer bruises than scrums past but just as many laughs recalling those glorious victories that made fans cheer louder than ever before!
