Let's make this birthday one to remember.

39 years old (Born on June 09, 1985)

Happy Birthday, Richard Kahui! The man who tackled opponents harder than most of us tackle Monday mornings. From your legendary performances as a centre for the All Blacks, to lighting up the field with the Highlanders and Chiefs in Super Rugby, you've always been a class act. Your try-scoring brilliance during the 2011 Rugby World Cup still has fans cheering—and opponents checking their rear-view mirrors.

Here's hoping your birthday is filled with fewer bruises than your rugby career and more cake than tackles. May you continue to sidestep life's challenges as effortlessly as you dodged defenders on the pitch. Cheers to another year of greatness!
