Scotland prop Pierre Schoeman makes his 100th Edinburgh appearance in Saturday's home game with URC table-toppers Connacht.

The South Africa-born 29-year-old is joined in the front row by Ewan Ashman and Javan Sebastian, with Dave Cherry on the bench and WP Nel rested.

Fiji number 8 Viliame Mata is back from injury to replace the concussed Luke Crosbie, while Connor Boyle starts at openside-flanker with Hamish Watson sidelined with an injured cheekbone.

James Lang is at inside centre after scoring a try from the bench in last weekend's 36-27 loss at Leinster, taking over from the injured Matt Currie.

Let's see the teams shall we...

That's it from Swansea but that's not all the rugby for tonight.

My colleague George O'Neill is going to be taking you through all the action from Edinburgh v Connacht and that gets under way at 19:35.

Glasgow Warriors' Johnny Matthews gives his immediate reaction to Viaplay Sports: "The boys up front were class today.

"Three more tries for myself and I am really happy. We have been working really hard.

"One of the targets we set before the game was to come here and get five points.

"It is a really tough place to come but we are delighted with the performance."

And breathe...

That late try from Allan Dell secured an all-important bonus point for the visitors.

That was naughty from Justin Tipuric and he's cost his side in these closing minutes.

If the Ospreys are going to get something from this game they are going to have to do it with 14 players.

That was mighty impressive from Duncan Weir.

The penalty goes Glasgow's way this time.

It looked a very difficult kick but if there's anyone you want over it it's Weir - I wouldn't have fancied my chances I can tell you that much.

Glasgow made a fair few changes just before that penalty.

Allan Dell, Angus Fraser, Enrique Pieretto, Ally Miller and Tom Jordan all enter the field of play

Jamie Bhatti, Johnny Matthews, Lucio Sordoni, Matt Fagerson and Sione Tuipulotu make way.

Oh no, that's the last thing Glasgow were needing with less than ten minutes to go.

Jack Walsh makes no mistake with the kick and the Ospreys take the narrow lead.

Glasgow seem to be feeling the pressure, they were building up some nice passes but Ollie Smith just couldn't keep his hands on the ball.

Ten minutes to go - can they hold on?

Ospreys making some changes again.

James Fender on for Harri Davies and Darren Phillips is on for Nicky Smith.

Maybe thinking some fresh legs can steal the win?

The Ospreys are visibly frustrated and are making their feelings known to the referee.

Both sides clearly desperate to take the win tonight.

Johnny Matthews' scoring feats are reminiscent of another prolific forward...

There was a nervy moment there for the Ospreys as the try was checked for offside.

The referee opts to given Reuben Morgan-Williams the benefit of the doubt and the try stands.

What a try.

Dewi Lake pounced on the ball and shifted it to the edge. It's a lovely kick over the top through for Reuben Morgan-Williams.

Just what Ospreys needed.

Jack Walsh is making no mistake with that kick and he puts a slight dent in Glasgow's lead.
