Let's make this birthday one to remember.

56 years old (Born on September 29, 1968)

Happy Birthday, Pat Lam! Another year older and wiser—though we're pretty sure your tactical genius peaked ages ago. From Auckland's rugby fields to coaching brilliance with Connacht’s historic Pro12 victory in 2016, you've tackled every challenge head-on (pun intended).

Whether orchestrating Bristol Bears' rise or inspiring players worldwide, you’ve proven age is just a number—much like the points your teams rack up on match day. May this birthday bring fewer grey hairs than nail-biting matches and more celebrations than sideline stress.

Cheers to another season of unforgettable victories and hilarious locker-room pep talks. Keep scoring big laughs too!
