Edinburgh recorded their third win in a row with tries from Nick De Luca and Geoff Cross, 16 points from Chris Paterson and a drop goal from Phil Godman, but were unable to obtain a try bonus point after being frustrated by sn Ospreys side inspired by winger Nikki Walker.

De Luca dotted down in the corner inside the first minute following some some purposeful attacking play. Phil Godman orchestrated the move - his pass found Ross Rennie who shrugged off two tackles before off-loading to Allister Hogg.

Hogg's pass found Godman again, who slotted a grubber into the corner and while the Ospreys defence hesitated, De Luca swooped to score.

Ospreys responded with three penalties from stand-off Matthew Jarvis and a try from Scotland internationalist Nikki Walker, but Edinburgh survived a second half scare to generate some more momentum ahead of the showdown with Wasps.

Cross crossed the whitewash from close range following some continuous pressure from Edinburgh's in-form front five with Allan Jacobsen named man of the match for the home side.
