France will play a second Test match in a matter of days this autumn against New Zealand, sources at Marseille’s Velodrome Stadium said Monday.
Management at the 67,000-seater stadium have officially lodged a bid with the French rugby federation (FFR) to stage the game on November 14.
France are already set to play a home Test against the reigning two-time world champions on November 11 in Paris and will also host South Africa on November 18 and Japan on November 25 at venues yet to be decided.
