Paulse to pass on experience

The South African's face a tough task agianst Australia, accoring to Breyton Paulse.

Veteran Breyton Paulse is looking to use all of his experience and leadership in order to assist a young South African backline.

With George Gregan and Stephen Larkham set to compete in their final rugby Test at the Olympic Stadium, many are anticipating a gutsy Wallabies display.

Half-back Gregan will extend his world record caps tally to 133, while fly-half Larkham will reach a century of Tests in Sydney.

In stark contrast South Africa's Paulse has amounted 25 more Test appearances than the other six members of the Springboks' backline combined.

Paulse issued a stark warning to his fellow team-mates, he said: "It's an amazing combination (Larkham and Gregan), you've got to respect that, but at the same time make sure you don't give them too much space otherwise you're going to have a long day.

"We've got a very young backline, so I've got to keep the guys calm, especially when the pressure comes playing against guys like Larkham, Gregan and Mortlock (Stirling), it's going to be difficult.

"It's hard to tell the guys what to expect from them, because Larkham really runs good lines, I think I still respect him as one of the best at five-eighth. George has been a great champion to Australian rugby and to world rugby and his experience is so crucial for them."
