There is some experimental rules being tried out too :
*The maul can be pulled down without penalty, players may break away and be bound in front of the ball-carrier and joining a maul from behind the back foot will be strictly enforced
*If the ball is passed or taken back into the 22 and kicked into touch, the lineout is in line with where the ball was kicked
*Entering the breakdown ‘through the gate’ will be rigidly enforced, a tackled player must play the ball immediately and must not be prevented doing so by any player off their feet.
