The Bulls have been boosted by the news that they have no serious injuries ahead of their Super 14 clash against the Waratahs at Loftus Versfeld on Saturday.

Bulls team doctor Org Strauss confirmed on Monday that Pierre Spies who left the field in the Brumbies game due knock on the knee, should be fit to play against the Waratahs.

Spies will however only train with the team on Friday according to Strauss.

"He actually injured a muscle behind the knee, which was good news, at we feared for some structural damage to the knee. We expect him to be fit."

Strauss confirmed that Dewald Potgieter will be available for selection after recovering from the knee strain that prevent participation in the tournament thus far.

"Danie Rossouw also trained with the team today. He will be on light duty during the week, but is expected to play," he said.

Rossouw pulled out of the Brumbies clash after a neck spasm.

Jaco Pretorius is however still out due to a quad strain and will not be considered for selection, Strauss added.
