Blue Bulls coach Frans Ludeke will have a full compliment of players to work with when he start preparations for their Currie Cup semifinal showdown against the Cheetahs at Loftus Versfeld, in Pretoria, on Saturday.
Ludeke confirmed on Monday that there are no serious injuries in the Bulls' camp.
Apart from Springbok wing Akona Ndungane and lock Bakkies Botha, the Bulls coach he will have all his Springboks available for Saturday's semifinal - the fifth year in succession that the Bulls and Cheetahs will meet in either the Currie Cup semifinal or Final.
Ndungane, who is struggling with a groin injury, will in all probability be ready to play in a week's time, while Botha will not play any Currie Cup rugby this year.
Pedrie Wannenburg picked up an ankle injury against the Falcons at Loftus last Friday, but the team doctor Org Strauss said that they will have more clarity on the extent of the injury later on Monday.
