Let's make this birthday one to remember.

46 years old (Born on February 25, 1979)

Happy Birthday, Wikus van Heerden! May your day be filled with more joy than the time you tackled opponents into next week. Your legendary days as a fearless flanker for the Springboks, Lions, and Golden Lions still inspire rugby fans everywhere—though we're pretty sure some of those bruised rivals are still recovering!

From lifting trophies to leading by example on the pitch, you've always shown us how it's done—with grit, grace, and just enough mischief to keep things interesting. Here's hoping your birthday celebrations involve fewer scrums but plenty of cake. Cheers to another year tackling life head-on!
