This post is dating back from early April while Rugbyrama is from 8 May.
Here are two other extracts from Newspapers which are very affirmative on the subject.I'll eat my hat if there is a midweek test.
Im postive the French site have it wrong. If it's not v a French club then it will be v French Barbarians.
Anyone who thinks Les Bleus and the All Blacks will back up and play again in three days needs their head examined.

All Blacks to play a game in Japan in 2018.
Very pleased about this. Was getting a little worried about our lack of experience in the country if the 2019 hosts.
Not many players still around since our 2013 visit. A few Moari All Blacks like NMS and Codie Taylor played there.
No NZ super rugby team have played in Japan yet?
-
The test against Japan will be played on 3 November 2018.

@cgrant He also indicated that for the November test series to be successful for France, they must win at least three of their four test matches. That means beating Japan, South Africa, and NZ at least once. If not, he will 'take his responsibilities'.

'Taxi for Laporte, taxi for Laporte'
Based on their Series drubbing in SA they'll do well to record two wins.

@Tim That sounds like a bad joke. Lyon? Finished only 10th in the Top 14 last season. Geezus, why couldn't they play Clermont?
Edit: I shouldn't have read the Newshub article. This NZH says "a French selection" to be played in Lyon. I'd like to know whether they'll use the French Barbarians for that match.
Nothing confirmed on the FFR website or social media; nothing on All Blacks website yet either.

Keeps getting reported as a second Test.
Guessing they agreed to this, if true, given they're playing Scotland afterwards.

@Stargazer Cheers - looks like "not yet". Which is what I suspected, and I need to let my local-to-work publican know, as he was looking at buying tickets from some bloody dodgy looking websites. Oh well - another pub-lunch it is.
Scotland game - tickets went on sale on the 3rd July, sold out within the day. But put myself in the queue wanting only a single sad loner ticket, there might be a chance. -
Anyone going to Murrayfield? I missed the ticket allocation but seats on viagogo aren't too bad. Accommodation isn't under pressure either but still looking at a £G all up with travel from London.
I'm very tempted only because I know what fun Edinburgh is on a Test weekend from when I used to live there.
