EDINBURGH claimed a valuable win in the race for the URC play-offs last night as they held off a spirited second-half fightback from Ospreys.
The Welsh side were 16-3 down at half-time but dominated the second 40 and came close to snatching a dramatic win at the death.
The home defence did just enough to get the victory which takes the capital club up to fourth at least until today's games are played.
Edinburgh head coach Sean Everitt said: "We're getting into the habit of this.
It wasn't the complete performance that we had hoped for tonight.
"I thought we started the game off well. Going into half-time 16-3 up, which could have been 19, we were clearly on top. It was going to be tough in the second half with the wind but we didn't get a good start against a team that doesn't go away.
"We knew they were going to push us all the way through to the 80th minute and that's exactly what they did.
