Rhule played in the Springbok U20 side that won the 2012 Junior World Cup, scoring 3 tries. His senior international rugby career started as a call-up for the Springbok squad for the 2012 end-of-year tour to England though he did not play before his first official test call up on 10 June 2017 against the French national team, which was played at Loftus Versfeld Pretoria. He scored his first test try on 19 August 2017 in Port Elizabeth in the Rugby Championship test match between South Africa and Argentina.
