A provincial player for Western Province, Olivier was capped in 16 Test matches as a centre for the Springboks from 1967 to 1969. He had a distinctive body swerve when he ran which proved deceptive to defences. His five Test tries included a double against Australia at Bloemfontein in 1969. During this period, Olivier was a teacher at Paul Roos Gymnasium.
