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 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]
