South Africa marked their centenary as a touring side with a comfortable victory over a World XV at Leicester.

Wilkus van Heerden went over for a first-half try while Albert van den Berg (two) and Danie Rossouw added tries after the interval.

Drew Mitchell's try in the corner gave Lawrence Dallaglio's World XV something to cheer in the second half.

Andy Farrell began the game playing for the World XV at centre but had more impact when he moved to fly-half.

The Saracens star's opening contribution was to accidentally end centre De Wet Barry's game after just three minutes after the South African came off worse after a tackle.

Wynand Olivier and Jaco Pretorius set up the move for van Heerden to go over from close range, with Rossouw denied a second as he lost control of the ball as he went over the line.

Farrell missed two first-half penalties as the World XV failed to live up to the sum of their parts, but they began the second half with fresh impetus.

Francois Steyn's kicking kept the scoreboard ticking over, before van den Berg added two tries, the first a stretched to touch down after superb approach work by Pienaar.
