Maybe limit when you can kick for goal or reduce the value of kicking for goal, or maybe even just limit the number of times per game you can kick for goal.
Because I think on two occasions I saw kicks being made from about 53 metres and anything in the 44-48M range was made regularly and only Foley seemed to have trouble with anything closer than that so teams were just getting into the opposition half, working for a penalty and kicking for goal.

I suggest looking to League, devalue the penalty and drop kick. Perhaps make them only worth 1 pt. Keep the try the same 5 + 2.
I have other thoughts, but will say that Pocock is currently the best player at the breakdown, it isn't even close. I don't believe that NZ can match Pocock at the breakdown, he is just too good.
