France keen to host All Blacks in midweek match - reportREUTERS Israel Dagg goes in for a try in the All Blacks' last outing against France in Paris last November. France remain hopeful of adding another game to the All Blacks' end of year tour. The French are set to play the All Blacks in Paris on June 11. But French boss Bernard Laporte is still eager to arrange another match against the All Blacks and Midi-Olympique has suggested a midweek fixture could be squeezed in on Tuesday, November 14. The end of year tours have traditionally featured some bright new prospects and the Barbarians clash and a midweek fixture against France could provide a chance to examine fresh talent at the midway stage of the World Cup cycle.
