All Black #1197
Raised in New Zealand's deep south, the form of 22-year-old loosehead prop Ethan de Groot has been a highlight of the Highlanders campaigns this year.
De Groot developed as a player at Southland Boys' High School and rose through the Rugby Southland Academy and age group teams before making his provincial debut for Southland in 2018.
He made two appearances off the bench for the Highlanders last year before becoming a feature of the match day 23 this year, scoring two tries in the 'Landers win over the Waratahs in Sky Super Rugby Trans Tasman.
