Let's make this birthday one to remember.

42 years old (Born on January 09, 1983)

Happy Birthday, Nick Wood! Another year older and wiser—though we're still debating the 'wiser' part. From dominating scrums with Gloucester to proudly representing England Saxons on rugby's biggest stages, you've tackled life head-on (literally). Your legendary performances at Kingsholm remain unforgettable; rumor has it they're still repairing turf from your epic battles.

May this birthday bring you as much joy as that glorious moment when you stepped onto Rugby World Cup fields—or perhaps just a cake big enough for someone who spent years pushing around entire forward packs. Cheers to more victories off-field—and fewer bruises tomorrow morning!
