However, none was more impressive than the opening score by All Black centre Ngani Laumape.
Receiving the ball 45 metres out, he stepped and then out-gassed All Black fullback Beauden Barrett, before steamrolling Otere Black for a sensational start to the game.
Beauden Barrett, who was later out-duelled by younger brother Jordie Barrett in a kicking contest, got one back with a sublime show-and-go for the second try.
It is worth watching again and again!
