Nathan Sharpe is good to go.
Australia are expected to have a full deck when they face South Africa in a Mandela Plate decider in Bloemfontein on Saturday.
Veteran lock Nathan Sharpe has completed a full training session with, after injuring his ankle in last weekend's 31-44 loss to the Springboks in Pretoria.
Sharpe said the ankle was "fine" and is set to take his place in the team to tackle the Boks in Bloemfontein - when the Mandela Plate and second place in the Tri-Nations standings are up for grabs.
Inside centre Matt Giteau is also expected to be right after rolling his ankle at training this week.
The Australian side flew from their training base in Durban to the Highveld city of Bloemfontein on Thursday and will have a final training run at Vodacom Park on Friday.
The Wallabies have won once in three matches in the city - in 1933, and haven't played a Test there since 1996, although the players are familiar with the venue through Super 14 games against the Cheetahs.
