Let's make this birthday one to remember.

48 years old (Born on May 10, 1977)

Happy Birthday, Victor Matfield! The legendary lock forward who soared higher than anyone else in the lineouts and tackled opponents harder than Monday mornings. From leading South Africa to World Cup glory in 2007, to dominating rugby fields worldwide with your unmatched skills—your legacy remains as timeless as your iconic headgear.

Though you've hung up those boots (and that famous scrum cap), we bet you're still winning every family backyard match effortlessly. May this birthday bring you laughter louder than a packed stadium cheering for another perfect steal at the lineout. Cheers to many more victorious years ahead, Captain Fantastic!
