[2][3][4][5][6] Attending Saint Kentigern College in Auckland, Nock's talent was clear from an early age as he played for their top side for 3 years and captained them to national and world schools championship titles in his senior year.
He played all 10 games for them during what proved to be a torrid 2015 campaign which saw them finish bottom of the Championship standings with no wins to show for their efforts.
He continued to be first choice number 9 for the Taniwha in 2016, but injury ended his season early after he had started the first 7 games of the year.
When Guyton fell ill prior to the match against the Hurricanes at Eden Park, Nock was called into the Blues 23 man squad and debuted as a second half replacement for Bryn Hall in a 19-23 loss.
[6] In the quarter final of the 2022 Super Rugby Pacific season Nock played his 50th game for the Blues against the Highlanders.
