Former Melbourne NRL winger Matt Duffie

Ex-NRL star Duffie's All Blacks tour call

Duffie has been rewarded for a strong Super Rugby season with the Blues, named as one of four uncapped players along with Crusaders centre Jack Goodhue plus prop Tim Perry and hooker Asafo Aumua, who have both excelled in the national provincial championship.

Duffie started off in union before being scouted by the Melbourne Storm, where he made his NRL debut in 2010.

After six years in the NRL, Duffie signed to play rugby for the Blues last year.

The outside back said making the All Blacks team seemed a bit out of reach.
