[11] Following the fifth sevens event (10 April 2022), Toole held the most "Total Impact" points with 292, thirty-three points above second place Terry Kennedy (Ireland).

In March 2022 Rugby Australia (RA) announced that Toole had signed to stay with the Men's Australia sevens team until the end of the 2022 Rugby World Cup Sevens, which would see him play in both the Sevens World Cup and the 2022 Commonwealth Games, and would see him play full-time with the ACT Brumbies from 2023 Super Rugby Pacific season onwards.
