France will get a chance to atone for their embarrassing Rugby World Cup defeat to the All Blacks next year.

The French Rugby Federation has confirmed their programme for the end of 2016 which includes matches against Samoa, Australia and New Zealand.

The All Blacks and France will meet in Paris on November the 26th, the first time they've met since the World Cup quarter final when the All Blacks won 62-13.

France have a poor winning record against the All Blacks, taking out only 22% of the games between the two nations.

That rises to 27% in matches played in France, however they have never beaten the All Blacks at the Stade de France. 

New Zealand will face Ireland a week earlier in Dublin and there are unconfirmed reports they'll play Ireland in Chicago in early November and against Italy in Rome.
