At the conclusion of the 2010 Craven Week competition, Notshe was included in a South African Under-18 High Performance squad that played in matches against France, Namibia and England.[2] The following year, he made the S.A. Schools side that played against France.[3]

Notshe also represented Wynberg Boys' High School between 2010 and 2012.[4]

Senior career

In 2013, Notshe made his first class debut for Western Province, starting in their opening match of the 2013 Vodacom Cup season against neighbours Boland CavaliersinCeres.[5] He appeared in all nine matches for Western Province in a run that saw them reach the semi-finals, scoring tries against Pampas XV[6] and SWD Eagles[7] in the process.

Notshe was included in the Stormers pre-season training squad prior to the 2014 Super Rugby season[8] and was one of the try-scorers in their trial match against Boland Cavaliers.[9]

As of 2020 Notshe has signed a contract with the Cell C Sharks and will join their Super Rugby team.

International rugby[edit]

On 28 May 2016, Notshe was included in a 31-man South Africa squad for their three-test match series against a touring Ireland team.[10] After training with the national team for a few days, he joined the South Africa 'A' squad for their two-match series against a touring England Saxons team.[11] He was named in the starting line-up for their first match in Bloemfontein[12] and scored one of his side's three tries in the match, but ended on the losing side as the visitors ran out 32–24 winners.[13]
