All six of the additional players were named on the bench for the Chiefs game, though flyhalf Finn Russell, who was in brilliant form for Scotland in their 24-19 victory over Australia in Sydney on Saturday, could be considered unlucky not to have come straight into the starting side.
"I thought we defended well and the line out and scrum and mauling was excellent". We've got an idea in our heads. "We're forcing a few errors, we've played as physically as we should be but is there room for improvement? Yes, and so there should be".
Farrell admitted he feels the Lions have been penalised for offside "a little harshly" in several matches on tour - but challenged his players to time their blitz defence to perfection. "As long as you are within the rules, I don't see any problem".
The unerring boot of Welsh fullback Halfpenny put away four penalty goals in the first half and another two in the second - yet, despite a huge territory and possession advantage, the Lions seldom created try-scoring chances. We're still developing as a team and finding an identity.
Both Kaino and his colleague Brodie Retallick were relaxed as they met the media at New Zealand's team hotel in Auckland, but Retallick underlined how big a task the world champions face.
However, it will be hard to gauge if they can put in a repeat showing against the Chiefs.
A year ago the Chiefs humbled Wales 40-7 in a midweek fixture so Gatland will be well aware of the challenge that awaits against his former team. If you look at our side, the squad is full of winners, it's full of guys who are used to winning and know how to win.
The Chiefs are down most of their front-liners after their involvement with the All Blacks and the Maoris last weekend and the midweek side should pick up their first win. And I think we're going to be a hell of a side. We could go that way, we could potentially change and do that during the match as well.

The incident is being investigated as a terrorist attack and has been referred to as such by UK Prime Minister Theresa May . And the guy was shouting, basically he was saying, "it's our turn, this is for the people [that] you killed earlier".
"The strength of the collective group is going to be phenomenal".
"Within the 80 minutes, it's a matter of how fast we can adapt to what style they bring and how the refs are ruling on certain things".
The Maori ran the ball with less abandon than expected and frequently sought out tactical kicks to the Lions' defensive corners. But it's up to us to show a good picture.
"There is so much happening off the ball in terms of holding players or subtly holding players. It is the job of the assistant tackler to make sure he is spot on as well, so we've been working on that". We've raised it with the referees already.
In attack, the Lions have not been converting line breaks into tries, with Farrell returning to Warren Gartland's theme on Sunday that players have been blocked off the ball.
"We have just got to be aware of it", Gatland said.
Owen Farrell, suffering from a thigh knock, has also been left out.
"It seems to have settled down. It was always going to need a couple of days rest and recuperation". We haven't trained yet.
