It's not every day you meet a royal but it's probably just as rare for Prince Harry to be wrapped up in a sweaty hug from a Black Fern.

Still, as Aleisha Nelson told fans today, both managed to happen thanks to an excited Aldora Itunu.

While speaking ahead of tomorrow's double header at Eden Park, Nelson recalled a weights session the Black Ferns were having

"She is amazing in the gym to watch... she sweats like crazy - she has some kind of disease," Nelson joked of the front rower.

"She's pumping weights and she sees [Prince Harry] and she runs up to him and hugs him and he was drenched too after just one hug."

Both Itunu and Nelson have been named to face the Wallaroos tomorrow night although Itunu has to pass a test on her leg after she sustained a cut last week in Sydney.
