Looks just about strongest team. Big contrast with Glasgow's selection

6-7 up at half time passable stream found, missed most of first half, got times wrong...

Try Dougie Fife. Winning 14-13 with 20 left.

Well that was crap.

In utter contrast to anything on the Ed team, Huw Jones has scored one and given a nice calm, deliberate, scoring pass on a different stream....

A win’s a win for a’ that.

They appear to be pretty somewhat reliant on Kinghorn on just doing something when it comes to scoring tries.

They rely heavily on individual skill/brilliance. Edinburgh do not have a 'coached' attack. This is why Hodge needs to be given the boot ASAP.

Was an important win against a side that are playing better than anticipated.

Good character winning 3 away games in London, Moscow and Rome in consecutive weeks even if they're games that should be won. 13 players played across all 3 games so it's a decent professional job to prepare/recover properly.

The trip to S.A. is a massive test though especially without key players.

You are right of course, I was just in a foul mood and was flicking between two matches and the contrast made it look worse.

Does anyone else find the way they (er) film the match (screen/present, not sure what the word is) affects their opinion? I find the Super rugby matches and top end European matches seem a lot more watchable than the pro14 or bottom end Euro matches, visually? For example when Sky are televising a big match v BBC Alba showing a match, the latter just seems a bit crap as much as I appreciate it just being on....

Not sure of my point.......

I would imagine bigger games have more cameras available and therefore more angles, close-ups, etc. Better equipped production teams so replays are shown at the correct time... better quality equipment. Wouldn't surprise me.

Full game here (with italian commetary). Just saw SHC's try which was very well worked IMO

Couple of decent tries in there. The Treviso try and Fifes second one

I thought the others were decent enough. Highlights up on BBC now. Kinghorn very good for all three. His height helps him get offloads away

Ospreys are dire. Edinburgh should pull it off but a 4 win victory streak is bound to come to an embarassing end. Would probably keep a similar team to last week but bring in Dean on from the bench. Johnson could be an interesting sub.

Hmmm recent form has been better than dire IMO. Very competitive against scarlets then the euro powerhouses of Sarries and Clermont and then beat Dragons (as they should).

Both sides will be missing players too.

HT. Edinburgh 16-10 Ospreys.

Classy try finished by fowles on the return of HT. 21-10.

I like the cut of Crosbies jib.

Encouraging signs in our young back row stocks.

Edinburgh playing some decent rugby tonight.

Is Crosbie just getting a taste or is he legitimately ahead of Bradborg and Carmichael now? I was pinning all my hopes on those guys as the next 6 coming trough, but Crosbie looks pretty feisty. We desperately need some of that.

Sam Davies is a lucky boy, ref sees a tackle with the studs and i reckon he is having a 10 minute break

Bradbury scores on the death. 37-10. Bonus point victory. Great character by the Edinburgh lads.

Clever to basically give the Ospreys the ball in the last 20, they looked utterly shite and wait for your chance

That's the best i have seen Ed backs work together in a few years
