I take it back! Viliame Mata found a gap and burst through, lovely offload from Matt Currie to Hamish Watson who goes sailing over.

Ben Healy adds the extras from the tee.

Ospreys' blitz defence really putting the pressure on this Edinburgh attack.

Dan Edwards kick is good and the opening points go to the Welsh.

The wet conditions are making the ball like a bar of soap as Ospreys have the put in at the scrum on Edinburgh's 22. Jeandre Rudolph wins the penalty for the visitors and Dan Edwards calls for the tee.

Kick-off

Ben Healy gets the teams under way in Edinburgh

Last time these sides faced each other...

The last time Ospreys travelled to Hive Stadium, they lost 45-21, which is something Toby Booth will be looking to prevent from happening again and use their momentum from the two-point win against Ulster to get some valuable points here.

Four wins in a row for the Welsh side, can they make it five?

Four changes for Ospreys clash

Head coach Sean Everitt has made four changes to the Edinburgh XV.

Everitt will be hoping the changes produce an improved performance from their narrow victory away to Zebre Parma last time out.

Mark Bennett comes into the starting XV in place of James Lang and will make his 100th appearance for the capital side.

Ben Vellacott captains the side from scrum-half ahead of Ali Price, who starts on the bench, while Ben Healy is tasked with pulling the strings from fly-half.

Sam Skinner returns from Scotland duty to start in the second row ahead of Marshall Sykes and Tom Dodd also comes into the side, preferred to Glen Young.

Everitt has named an unchanged back three, which has Emiliano Boffelli continuing at full-back, with Chris Dean and Harry Paterson on the wings.

Cuthbert starts for first time in a year

Wales wing Alex Cuthbert will make his first start for a year.

On-loan Cheetahs number eight Jeandre Rudolph makes his Ospreys debut, while fellow South African Evardi Boshoff is named in the centre.

Ospreys scrum-half Luke Davies replaces Reuben Morgan-Williams, while Rudolph comes in for Wales Under-20s number eight Morgan Morse in the only change in the forwards from the side that defeated Ulster.

Lock Rhys Davies, number eight Morgan Morris and fly-half Owen Williams return from injury and are named on the Ospreys' bench.

Late change for the hosts

There is a last-minute change to the Edinburgh squad as James Lang is out injured and will be replaced on the bench with Cameron Scott.

100 not out for Bennett

Edinburgh centre Mark Bennett makes his 100th club appearance this evening and head coach Sean Everitt believes it is great for fellow midfielder Matt Currie to learn from someone of his experience.

“Matt and [Mark] played really well together - unfortunately Benzo got injured against Gloucester and struggled with that. But he is back now. He had played really well up until then.

“Matt has been our stalwart in midfield although he’s young. He’s kept his position every time he’s been available for selection. It’s great that Matt can play next to a guy like Mark Bennett, who is playing his 100th game.

"Matt is a keen learner, and players get better when they’re playing against senior people, and obviously they learn a lot from the players that they’re playing with."

Bennett also singled team-mate Matt Currie out for praise, adding: "Matt's a quality operator. He's a big man. He does the physical stuff really well and he's a really hard worker. His engine is impressive.

"In the last six months you've just seen him grow in confidence and he's just going to keep getting better and better, and it has really been a fight for my spot."
