Rugby career

Rule only took up rugby in her final year at Aparima College; although her school did not have a rugby team, she was allowed to play for Central Southland College or any team that needed another player. After High School, she moved to Christchurch in 2019 for University. She played for Canterbury in the Farah Palmer Cup.[1]

Rule was selected for the Black Ferns Autumn International Tour.[4] [5] [6] [7] She made her international debut for New Zealand on their Northern Tour, against England on 7 November at Northampton.[8] She signed with Matatū for the inaugural Super Rugby Aupiki.[9]

Rule was selected for the Black Ferns squad for the 2022 Pacific Four Series.[10] She was recalled into the squad for a two-test series against the Wallaroos for the Laurie O'Reilly Cup in August.[11] [12] A month later she was selected for the Black Ferns 2021 Rugby World Cup 32-player squad.[13] [14]

Rule scored a try against Wales in the quarterfinals of the deferred World Cup.[15] [16] In the World Cup final against England, she scored a try from the back of a maul just before half-time.[17] [18]

2023

Rule scored the first try for her side in the final of the 2023 Aupiki season which helped shift the momentum for Matatū against Chiefs Manawa in their first title win.[19]

In July, she made the Black Ferns starting line up in the 21–52 victory over Canada at the Pacific Four Series in Ottawa.[20] [21]

On November 15, she re-signed with Matatū for her third season of Super Rugby Aupiki.
