Krysten, also known as Duffy, is back for her third season with the nib Blues.  

She is an elusive first-five who directs traffic well from the pivot position with her vision and knowledge of the game key to her success.  

Duffy was among the first Black Ferns to receive a paid contract back in 2018, where she went on to play eight Tests for the team. 

When she isn’t on the rugby field, you will find her in the bush doing her bit for New Zealand’s conservation by tracking Kiwis and keeping our native bush pest and predator free.
