Let's make this birthday one to remember.

51 years old (Born on April 08, 1974)

Happy Birthday, Toutai! From dominating the pitch and lifting that unforgettable 1999 Rugby World Cup with Australia—you've always been a champion on and off the field. Watching you crash through defenses like they were made of paper still brings smiles (and bruises!) to opponents' faces.

Your legacy didn't stop there; Kubota Spears fans fondly recall how your strength powered them forward from 2004 to 2010—clearly showing Japan just how rugby should be played. Today we celebrate a true legend whose toughness is matched only by his sense of humor.

Here's wishing you another year as legendary as your tackles!
