    A great day in Nantes, meeting our friend Neil who was off to the Wales game in Nantes. We watched that game in an Irish bar, the England v Samoa game at the fan village then the Ireland v Scotland game in the centre of town.
    You couldn't move in some of the old town streets but the fans were brilliant at parting the waves to let Kev through the masses. We managed to find seats in a bar just on the outskirts of the masses and were looked after by more fantastic staff.
    All nations mixed wonderfully. What an atmosphere!
    We think a long weekend to Nantes is now high on the priorities! I have been here before, 42 years ago, but more about that in a few days.
    Today is game day... off to watch Argentina v Japan and to meet more of their followers.
