The young scrumhalf's family did not believe him at first.


''My family didn't believe me when I told them I would be meeting Prince Harry. I knew that I was going to see him. They don't even know that I'm here,'' he said.


Prince Harry is on the second day of an official visit to South Africa. 


He met Archbishop Emeritus Desmond Tutu in Cape Town yesterday.
