The maul one is necessary. At the moment what is legal and illegal in terms of stopping mauls is just a mess and it's refereeing is inconsistent because of this.

The breakdown changes are also good because they stop players diving onto the ball and slowing it down. It forces better support play by the offensive side and speeds up the ball in general which are both positive steps.

There was some video posted on boards about the rules changes a few months ago and it explained things fairly well.

Here's the thread and the two youtube videos. There might have been changes since then but both videos are interesting.
