Let's make this birthday one to remember.

38 years old (Born on March 03, 1987)

Happy Birthday, Patric! Just like your scrums for the Springboks back in 2012, may you always push forward with strength and determination—though hopefully today’s cake is easier to tackle than a front-row opponent!

From joining Western Province in 2013 to dominating on the pitch, you've consistently shown us how props truly prop up their teams. May this birthday bring as much joy as lifting trophies and celebrating victories. Remember: age is just a number—but unlike rugby scores, lower isn't necessarily better here.

Cheers to another year of great tackles (on life) and fewer yellow cards at parties!
