Nerfing the maul I think a good action, it is a big weapon for lots of teams now, and always favours weight over skill. Agreed on the shot clock, no brainer to reducd. Croc roll is a total safety item, seen too many knee injuries on artificial turf with these. Scrum free kick I think is a bit anti-SA, but given they are world number 1 for a reason, I'm OK to see how it goes.
All in all, I'm pretty excited to see next set of internationals
I think the problem with the maul as it is now is that all the responsibility for keeping it up is on the defensive team, and the offensive team is very rarely policed when setting it up from a lineout to see how much they obstructed, left the lineout early to form the wedge, passed the ball back rather than swimming the ball carrier etc.
