"There was plenty for the Lions to take note of, especially the control of the All Blacks forwards at the set piece and the audacious offloads. When there was the merest hint of a counter-attack opportunity, the All Blacks struck hard."
The Guardian's Jim Kayes, who was at the stadium, said the All Blacks were "at their sublime best" during the test - their first of the year - and the result will have the Lions hoping Samoa had an off night.
"Steve Hansen's side were imperious in attack, and appear in excellent shape before the first Test against the Lions next weekend," Charlie Morgan of The Telegraph reports.
"A solid scrum and lineout represented other positives, while lock Brodie Retallick was immense."
Hansen was confident after the match, telling media Lions coach Warren Gatland was "starting to run out of time" to get the Lions ready for the upcoming game.
"We're sitting here, we've finished for the weekend, we've come out with no injuries, so we get to sit down and get really excited about what's ahead of us. You wait 12 years for the Lions to come around so you don't want to miss it."
However, the All Blacks themselves have "still got a lot of work to do", he said.
"We did a lot of things well but it's just the start. This team's going to have to be way better at everything we do if we want to compete against the Lions.
"We've got a critical few skill sets that we work on, I won't tell you what they are, but they're the things we know if we do them really well we've got a good chance of winning."
Gatland is said to be calling on up to six more players, increasing the Lions' touring squad to 46 men.
