Edinburgh v Ospreys</div>
Simon Webster will make his 100th Edinburgh appearance in Friday evening’s Magners League encounter with The Ospreys at Murrayfield.
Webster lines out in the wing for Andy Robinson’s side for whom Craig Hamilton and Ben Gissing start in the second row after their international endeavours, though Scotland lock Jim Hamilton is rested.
Ross Rennie makes his first start for the team since March after overcoming a knee problem. He will start at openside, with Alan MacDonald moving to blindside.
The Ospreys are missing a whole host of players for Friday's game. With nine players still on international duty with Wales, who take on Australia on Saturday, and a further bevy unavailable due to injury, Sean Holley has had a limited pool to choose from for the trip to Scotland.
Lee Byrne, Andrew Bishop, James Hook, Ian Gough, Richard Hibbard, Alun-wyn Jones, Duncan Jones, Ryan Jones and Shane Williams are all on duty at The Millennium Stadium for Warren Gatland’s men.
Huw Bennett, Leigh Bevan, Ian Evans, Gavin Henson, Duncan Jones, Ben Lewis, Andy Lloyd, Jamie Nutbrown, Gareth Owen, Mike Phillips, Jonathan Spratt and Jonny Vaughton are all present on an injury list that leaves Holley with little room for manouevere.
He does at least have Tommy Bowe available after the former Ulster man impressed on Ireland duty, though he is named at full back, as opposed to his usual berth on the wing. Jonathan Thomas, Sonny Parker, Cai Griffiths and Kristian Phillips also all play after they lightened the load on the treatment table.
Edinburgh: C Paterson; M Robertson, B Cairns, N De Luca, S Webster; P Godman, M Blair [capt]; A Jacobsen, R Ford, G Cross; C Hamilton, B Gissing; A MacDonald, R Rennie, A Hogg.
Replacements: A Kelly, G Kerr, M Mustchin, S Newlands, G Laidlaw, D Blair, H Southwell.
Ospreys: T Bowe; K Phillips, D Bishop, S Parker, N Walker; D Biggar, R Webb; T Smith, M Holah, S Tandy; L Batema, F Tiatia; C Mitchell, E Shervington, P James.
Replacements: M Breeze, C Griffiths, R Bevington, M Collins, J Thomas, R Wells, A Beck.
