The All Blacks demolished Australia 50-19 at Eden Park, but three players could find their starting places under threat ahead of next weekend's Bledisloe Cup rematch.
New Zealand ran in seven tries as Dave Rennie's side produced a dominant second-half display.
However, not everyone impressed. Several players struggled to make their mark, despite the convincing victory.
Here are three players who disappointed and the men who could replace them.
1. Josh Lord
Lord was already under pressure following the surprise omission of Fabian Holland, and his performance did little to silence the doubters.
The lock struggled at the lineout early on, despite being selected partly for his ability to secure possession.
He improved as the match went on, but Holland could come back into contention next weekend.
Potential replacement: Fabian Holland
The 23-year-old has emerged as one of New Zealand's most promising forwards. His physicality and lineout presence make him an obvious alternative if Rennie decides to freshen up his second row.
2. Fletcher Newell
Newell endured a relatively quiet evening despite New Zealand dominating large parts of the contest.
The tighthead helped provide a solid scrum, but offered little to suggest his starting position is beyond question.
It was a steady rather than spectacular performance.
Potential replacement: Pasilio Tosi
Tosi came off the bench against Australia and offers a powerful alternative at tighthead.
With Tyrel Lomax also in the wider squad, Rennie has options if he wants to make a change.

Lakai's performance was a mixed bag despite getting himself on the scoresheet.
The back-rower scored New Zealand's opening try and produced a clever offload for Leroy Carter's second-half score.
However, defensive lapses proved costly. He was beaten in the build-up to Australia's opening try and missed another important tackle.
Potential replacement: Shannon Frizell
Frizell offers experience and physicality, having returned to the All Blacks setup following his spell in Japan.
Another option is Anton Segner, who was also named among the replacements at Eden Park.
With Ardie Savea currently sidelined through injury, Rennie has decisions to make in his back row.
