It was much harder than seven days ago but the All Blacks got the job done against Fiji in Dunedin.
The nine tries to three win wasn't without a few shaky moments, but ultimately the quality of this All Blacks side prevailed.
So who stood out?
George Bower - 7
Solid effort and is a real spark on defence. One turnover but scrummed well alongside his front-row cohorts.
Codie Taylor - 7
Typical showing from the Crusaders. Good around the park, tackled well and was perfect with his lineout throwing.
Nepo Laulala - 8
Very industrious with ball in hand and a brute of a defender.
Patrick Tuipulotu - 6
Poor at kick restarts. Not his best night.
Brodie Retallick - 8
Emptied the tank and will only get better.
Shannon Frizell - 6
Was part of a loose-forward trio that got beat up at the breakdown. Quiet night.
Ethan Blackadder - 7
Not an openside but was the best of the three and is a super promising prospect for the future.
Hoskins Sotutu - 6
Didn't have his usual sting with the ball in hand and made several errors.
Aaron Smith - 8
Great night for the veteran No.9 who sparked the backs into life on several occasions.
Beauden Barrett - 8
Looked very slick and played his part in two of the first-half tries.
George Bridge - 8
Mr reliable. Doesn't seem to have too many mistakes in his game at the moment.
David Havili - 9
Looked every part a test match No.12.
Rieko Ioane - 6
Was outplayed by the Fijian captain - had a couple of nice moments on attack but plenty to work on.
Sevu Reece - 7
Looks to be nearing his form of two years ago. An absolute dynamo with the ball in hand.
Jordie Barrett - 6
Scored an early try but play didn't go his way. A couple of sloppy touch finders.
