Let's make this birthday one to remember.

56 years old (Born on July 08, 1968)

Happy Birthday, Shane Howarth! From dazzling crowds as a fearless fullback for the All Blacks in '94 to proudly donning Welsh colors and earning 19 caps between 1998 and 2000—your rugby journey is legendary. Who else can say they've tackled international rugby from both hemispheres?

May your birthday be filled with fewer tackles than you've endured on the pitch, more cheers than Cardiff Arms Park ever echoed, and enough cake to fuel another epic run down memory lane. Here's hoping this year brings you even greater success off-field—and remember: age is just a number; legends never retire!
