Let's make this birthday one to remember.

42 years old (Born on July 15, 1982)

Happy Birthday, Neemia Tialata! May your day be filled with more joy than the Hurricanes locker room after a big win. From dominating scrums to epic tackles, you've always been the prop who made opponents reconsider their career choices. Your legendary run from 2004 to 2011 still echoes in Wellington—rumor has it some forwards are still recovering!

And let's not forget those glorious All Blacks days (2005-2010), where you proudly wore black and terrified front rows worldwide. Here's hoping your birthday cake is as solid as your scrum technique—but easier on the teeth! Cheers to another year of greatness, Neemia!
