France's schedule for next season's November internationals already has three games slated.
It opens with a test against New Zealand on November 11th and is followed by games against South Africa on November 18th and Japan on November 25th.
The French feel they can squeeze in another money-spinning game against the All Blacks. Not before those previously scheduled tests, or after, but rather in between the first game against the All Blacks and the one versus the Springboks.
Midi Olympique, via Gavin Mortimer, reports that France are currently in talks to play a game on November 14th.
Obviously, if France did play the All Blacks twice in four days, the second game would almost certainly feature vastly different lineups to the first. It would be a game entirely about making money rather than the progression of French rugby.
The All Blacks' depth would ensure they could still field a high quality side. Given France's performances in recent Six Nations, you would certainly have to question their ability to do so.
