Profile Paragraph: Rhodes signed with the Lions at the end of the 2010 Currie Cup and made his international rugby debut during the 2011 Super Rugby competition. Rhodes impressed his coaches to such an extent that he became a regular in the starting line up at the Lions, playing 11 Super Rugby and 13 Currie Cup matches in 2011. Rhodes is a dynamic flank who is very unpredictable on the field and often catches his opponents off guard. Should Rhodes continue with his form and hunger to succeed, he should be on the national selectors list in no time at all.
