We need more <insert team> Bandicoots or <insert team> Wombats in high profile teams, although I think <insert team> Sea Horses may be a little light on in the intimidation/motivation stakes.

Is rucking making a comeback? Proper rucking you know the kind where lazy piggies on the ground (Sleeping Kiwis) are given some of the Wainuiomata Slipper treatment to engourage them to roll away and/or release the ball.
I have just noticed a few of these happen in recent ITM Cup games, - in broad daylight, in front of the cameras and the referee, and noted by the comentators.

You're watching an exception. The scrums in the ITM Cup have been the worst anywhere in the world.

Missed the Wgton game HJ, glad to hear Savea Jr went well, he been injured most of this year, but I also think another couple of years he maybe a tidy player.
He has a tonne of potential, but needs to be taken under Sir Ruchie GOAT's wing for a bit, and learn the skills of the invisibility if he is to make the step up to the next level soon. The last two games he has spent 10 minutes in the naughty boys chair for professional fouls in the red zone.
At Soup and Test level, 14 vs 15, even for 10 minutes, can cost a team dearly.
If he builds up a history of YC's and a gets reputation for this, then this could indirectly influence future referees when there is a line call to be made.
He is still very young and there is time.
