His senior international [rugby](/source/Rugby_union) career started as a call-up for the [Springbok](/source/South_Africa_national_rugby_union_team) 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. He played for the Cheetahs, scoring tries.

He then joined French [Top 14](/source/Top_14) team [Grenoble](/source/FC_Grenoble_Rugby) after the [2018 Super Rugby season](/source/2018_Super_Rugby_season),[3] and then to [La Rochelle](/source/La_Rochelle), where his play fitted coach [Ronan O'Gara](/source/Ronan_O'Gara)'s style of keeping the ball alive. ## Honours ### Club **[La Rochelle](/source/Stade_Rochelais)** - [European Rugby Champions Cup](/source/European_Rugby_Champions_Cup): [2021–2022](/source/2021%E2%80%9322_European_Rugby_Champions_Cup),[4] [2022–2023](/source/2022%E2%80%9323_European_Rugby_Champions_Cup) ## References 1. ^ [***a***](#cite_ref-SARU_Player_Profile_Raymond_Rhule_1-0) [***b***](#cite_ref-SARU_Player_Profile_Raymond_Rhule_1-1) [***c***](#cite_ref-SARU_Player_Profile_Raymond_Rhule_1-2) ["SA Rugby Player Profile – Raymond Rhule"](http://www.sarugby.co.za/playerprofile.aspx?id=49406&fullview=true). *South African Rugby Union*.
