France will play Fiji in a Test match in November, the French Rugby Federation has announced.

Philippe Saint-Andre's team will host the Pacific Islanders on November 8 to kick-off their November tests.

They will then play Australia on November 15 and Argentina a week later, both at the Stade de France.

In eight previous clashes with Fiji between 1964 and 2010, four of which took place at World Cups, France have always won.

France's biggest win over Fiji was a 77-10 success in St Etienne in 2001 while the closest the islanders have come to an upset was two years earlier when they went down just 28-19 at the World Cup in Toulouse.
