    Highlanders coach Jamie Joseph believes loosehead prop Ethan de Groot should have no problems retaining his All Blacks spot with the international season looming


    The Highlanders host the top-of-the-table Chiefs in their final Super Rugby Pacific regular-season game in Dunedin tonight, as they look to avoid the wooden spoon.

    Joseph feels de Groot has been the form player in his position.



    Kickoff is at 7.05pm - live commentary on GOLD SPORT and iHeartRadio.
