The French Rugby Federation is currently in negotiations with New Zealand Rugby to secure a second Test against the All Blacks on their 2017 end of year tour according to French media reports.

The All Blacks will start their end of year tour with a match against France on November 11 in Paris followed by a trip to Edinburgh on November 18 to play Scotland.

Their next match on the weekend of the 25/26 November has not yet been confirmed but Midi Olympique are reporting that the French are trying to bring the All Blacks back to France for what would likely be their final match of the tour on the weekend of the 2/3 December.

The match would likely be held at the Velodrome in Marseille.

It would be the first time the All Blacks have played France more than once in a calendar year since 2013 when Les Bleus toured New Zealand in the June Internationals.

The All Blacks played Ireland twice at the end of 2016 with the first match being at Soldier Field in Chicago followed by a Test three weeks later in Dublin.
