CAPE TOWN (Reuters) - Pieter de Villiers, South Africa's scrum coach, has called on referees to keep a closer eye on the scrum in the closing games of the Rugby Championship.

De Villiers admits the Springboks were dominated by Argentina in the set-piece in their first two matches, but said before Saturday's game against Australia that inconsistent refereeing remained a problem.
