The Crusaders and the Waratahs on Sunday reported a clean bill of health as they started to prepare for their showdown in the Super 12 Final at the Jade Stadium in Christchurch on Saturday.
Neither team had any major injuries to report after winning their respective semi-final in convincing fashion. The Crusaders smashed the Hurricanes 47-7 in Christchurch last Friday, while the 'Tahs beat the Bulls 23-13 in Sydney this past Saturday.
The Crusaders came through their semi-final without any major injuries.
No.8 Mose Tuiali'i suffered a knock to the hip, but team doctor Deb Robinson expected him to be available for Monday's training session at Rugby Park.
Robinson added that Crusaders centre Casey Laulala is also expected to return to full training on Monday, after missing the last two matches with a hamstring strain.
Meanwhile the Waratahs also reported no "major" injury concerns.
'Tahs coach Ewen McKenzie said his only injury concern was an injured ankle for winger Peter Hewat, but he expected the Waratahs leading try and points scorer to play.
