Wales wing Josh Adams scored four tries as the British and Irish Lions opened their South African tour with a 56-14 victory over the Sigma Lions in Johannesburg.
Adams ran in with four well-taken tries after the break to take the contest out of sight, with replacement Gareth Davies also scoring a try.
Debutant Louis Rees-Zammit scored a fourth-minute try, followed by a try each from Ali Price and Hamish Watson.
The hosts lost heart and couldn't make the altitude count in their favour.
Four years ago, the Lions opened their tour with a stuttering 13-7 win over a thrown-together New Zealand Barbarians side that bolstered All Black confidence rather than the tourists'.
In a match played behind closed doors, this was a far more convincing victory as club and country combinations brought cohesion to a near-scratch side.
The British and Irish Lions will now meet Cell C Sharks this Wednesday in their second match of their South African tour.
