France says 'non' to NZR's plans to take test to the US

France has reportedly decided it’s not in their best interest to take a test against the All Blacks in the United States next year.

Last week, it was revealed NZR was considering moving an All Blacks home test against France next year to the US as a potential test double-header with England and the USA Eagles.

However,  French Rugby Federation president Florian Grill today revealed that all three tests of the July tour will be played in New Zealand.

Former NZ Rugby chief executive David Moffett says there's not much of an audience in the US for rugby anyway.

"The fact that France don't want to go to America has obviously killed that - and I'm not at all concerned that they have, to be perfectly honest."
