Australia assistant coach Glenn Ella has warned his players not to underestimate Wales' inexperienced backline ahead of Sunday's match at the Millennium Stadium.

A long injury list has forced Wales coach Graham Henry to select a backline that has never before played alongside each other as an unit.

Wales' centre pairing of Iestyn Harris and Jamie Robinson have only six international caps between them, while winger Wayne Proctor makes his first international appearance for three years.

Said Ella: "Of course we will be looking to expose any weakness in the Welsh backs.

"But the way we've been playing lately, we certainly need to concentrate on our own game.

"Any backline at this level is going to be dangerous regardless of how much time they've played together.

We know we haven't played well in the last two games

"So we've got to be wary."

The two recent back-to-back defeats against England and France have hurt the Wallabies.

The World Cup, Bledisloe Cup and Tri-Nations champions have not lost three matches on the trot since 1995, and have not lost to Wales since 1987.

Ella said the squad is determined to keep that record in tact.

"We've set high standards over the last couple of years but we've let ourselves down lately," he said.

"We know we haven't played well in the last two games.

"We're hoping to finish the tour off on a good note and put us back where we were before this tour."

Graham Henry has attempted to add to the tourist's worries by claiming that one of their favourite moves should be illegal.

Henry wants the referee of Sunday's match to clamp down on Australia's use of decoy runners.

Australian dummy runners worry Henry

"They are trying to move the ball more, but I am concerned at their ploy of players running in front of the guy who passes the ball," said Henry.

"They scored tries against England and France using that tactic.

"There is no way they would have been given in a match involving two northern hemisphere sides."

Ella, though, laughed off the suggestion of foul play.

"We haven't had enough ball to use any dummy runners," he joked.

"We don't regard that as an issue. Obviously we've talked to the referees and they've let us know what we can and cannot do.

"It doesn't really matter if we get penalised for these type of plays.

"We've got plenty of other plays we can resort to."
