Rugby career

Staller has represented Vancouver in regional play, British Columbia in provincial play and currently represents Canada internationally. Staller is a graduate of the University of British Columbia men's varsity rugby program, having previously attended Douglas College on a golf scholarship in New Westminster, British Columbia. He and his UBC teammates won two consecutive Rounsefell Cups in 2016 and 2017. For two years in a row, Brock was the leading points scorer in the British Columbia Rugby Union Men's premiership.[2]

In 2016, Staller was called-up by Francois Ratier to represent the Canadian men's national team during the Americas Rugby Championship. He earned his first cap in a win against Brazil, started in the non-capped loss to Argentina XV, and closed out the tournament with a start at fullback defeating Chile.[3]

On 3 November 2017 it was announced that Staller would be joining the Seattle Seawolves for their inaugural season in Major League Rugby.[4]
