Bulls get plenty of beef back

The Blue Bulls will be able to call on the services of three additional Springboks for their Currie Cup crunch match against Western Province in Pretoria on Friday.

Prop Dean Greyling has served his ban for striking All Black captain Richie McCaw with an elbow last month and will be on duty at Loftus Versfeld.

Hooker Chiliboy Ralepelle and fullback Bjorn Basson have both been cleared after lengthy injury lay-offs.

Ralepelle has fully recovered from a knee strain he picked up while on Springbok duty.

Basson is fully fit after recovering from surgery for a chest injury during the Super Rugby season.

According to Bulls team doctor Org Strauss, no injuries were reported after the loss to the Sharks at the weekend.

Louis Fouché did not train on Monday, due to a shoulder strain, but will be fit to train again on Tuesday.

Deon Stegmann, Pierre Spies and Fudge Mabeta remain the long term casualties and will not play again during the Currie Cup campaign.
