why did it took so long for any team to adapt against the new zealanders style of rugby?

No advantage gained by the Highlanders and the ref awards the scrum feed to the visitors

The Highlanders gather the ball after a box kick from Coetzee filling in at scrum half , and have taken play back into the half of the Lions

Combrink does the necessary and finds touch , setting up the line out for the home side just inside their own territory

I hate saffa rugby but I've loved watching these guys this year
