Ethan de Groot Commits to All Blacks | Auckland News

Ethan de Groot, the All Blacks prop with 43 caps, has signed a new deal keeping him in New Zealand rugby until 2029—calling himself a “one club man” and showing zero interest in overseas moves. Focused on the upcoming test against South Africa, he’s eyeing the physical scrap in Johannesburg, where the front row battle will be crucial. Despite recent frustrations against the Sharks—where tactics like faking injuries to disrupt slow play were needed—he’s staying grounded, refusing to dwell on past losses. With his commitment locked in, he’ll be there for the 2029 British and Irish Lions tour, ready to anchor the All Blacks’ future.
