Ospreys v Edinburgh: Teams

Edinburgh head coach Andy Robinson makes one change for the trip to second placed Ospreys on Saturday.

Scotland full-back Hugo Southwell returns to the bench following a lay-off due to a head injury but Robinson sticks to the starting XV that defeated Leinster last Friday.

Chris Paterson retains the number 15 jersey and Scotland's record capped international has contributed 147 points - both in the Magners League and Europe - with 30 penalties and 22 conversions.

There is another start for number eight Allister Hogg, who has played in all 15 Magners League games so far this season, while lock Craig Hamilton makes his 14th appearance.

On the injury front, Mark Robertson (hamstring) is still ruled out and he is joined in the treatment room by long term casualties Allan Jacobsen (shoulder), Ross Rennie (knee), David Callam (hip), and Steven Turnbull (ankle).

Meanwhile, the Ospreys are without Richard Hibbard, who was suspended for two weeks by the WRU on Thursday for stamping against the Scarlets.

Jamie Nutbrown, Gavin Henson, Sonny Parker, Rhodri Wells, Ian Evans, Nikki Walker and Jonathan Thomas are all at various stages of recovery from injury.

Head coach Sean Holley has said that his team needs to show the same resolve they displayed coming back in the second-half last week against the Scarlets.

"The response shown by the players at last week's Scarlets game was very pleasing, it was one of resolve and character," he said.

"It was nice to score some tries and show that clinical edge in the second-half. We've taken confidence from that performance and with three home games to look forward to we have set our sights on finishing the season strongly."
