Du Toit was named in South Africa's squad for the 2019 Rugby World Cup. South Africa won the tournament, defeating England in the final. He was awarded the World Rugby Men's 15s Player of the Year in 2019.

On 2 June 2018, Du Toit became the 60th captain of South Africa, as he led the Springboks out against Wales, losing the match 20–22. Du Toit also took part in the mid-year England series, which South Africa won.

Du Toit is the grandson of former Springbok prop, Piet "Spiere" du Toit and is the older brother of Johan, also a professional rugby player. The two brothers were contracted to the Sharks at the same time (in 2014 and 2015) before reuniting at the Stormers from 2017 onwards.

In July 2013, Du Toit signed a two-year contract extension with the Sharks. However, he did sign a further contract renewal and the Sharks announced his departure in October 2015.

He made his Springbok Test debut versus Wales in Cardiff on 9 November 2013 at age 21. Du Toit has since become a regular for the Springboks and was a part of the South African team for the 2015 Rugby World Cup. Du Toit came off the bench in the quarter final, where South Africa beat Wales, 23-19, at Twickenham Stadium. The following season saw Du Toit become a regular starter for South Africa, under new Head Coach, Allister Coetzee.

Du Toit was a member of the South Africa Under 20 team that won the 2012 IRB Junior World Championship.
