Brock Staller (born 24 March 1992) is a Canadian rugby union player who plays wing for the Seattle Seawolves in Major League Rugby (MLR).[1] He also plays international test rugby for Canada.

Early life[edit]

Staller grew up in Surrey, Canada attending Kitsilano Secondary School and played amateur rugby with the Meraloma Rugby Club.

Rugby career[edit]

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]
