The All Blacks could play France twice on the end of year tour.

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

The All Blacks will start their 2017 northern tour with a test against France on November 11 in Paris, followed by a trip to Edinburgh to play Scotland, and also have a test against Wales in Cardiff locked in.

Midi Olympique are reporting that the French are trying to bring the All Blacks back to France for what would be their final match of the tour on the first weekend of December.

The match, likely be held at the Velodrome in Marseille, would sit outside the test window and allow NZR to negotiate valuable revenue sharing arrangements.

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.

Late last year NZR chief executive Steve Tew confirmed the All Blacks were eyeing a fourth test.

"We've been talking to the All Blacks pretty much all year about what we will do in terms of an additional game, and that work is well underway as we speak," Tew said. "But it won't be England."

The All Blacks played Ireland twice at the end of 2016. The first test was held at Soldier Field in Chicago, another revenue sharing occasion, followed by a test three weeks later in Dublin.
