Wales trio Jac Morgan, Dewi Lake and Adam Beard return to bolster the Ospreys ahead of their clash with Edinburgh at the Brewery Field on Saturday (3pm).

The three forwards were rested for last Friday's trip to Ulster in Belfast but are available after getting named in Wales' squad for the Autumn Nations Series. Wales backrower Morgan will captain the side in Bridgend.

In total, Ospreys head coach Toby Booth has made six changes, with Wales centre Owen Watkin starting, while he has also opted for new half-backs with Reuben Morgan-Williams lining up at scrum-half and Owen Williams wearing the number 10 shirt. Elsewhere, Will Greatbanks partners Adam Beard at lock, while Justin Tipuric lines up at openside flanker and Morgan Morris at No 8.

Gareth Thomas and Ben Warren start either side of Lake in the front-row. Keelan Giles, Dan Kasende and Jack Walsh make up the back-three. The Ospreys are currently rooted to the bottom of the United Rugby Championship table and will be desperate to finish this block of fixtures with a win against Edinburgh.

“For us, it’s important that we diversify and adapt quicker than we have in the last couple games," said Booth. “The boys have trained exceptionally well this week. If we can replicate that on Saturday, we’ll give ourselves a very good chance of coming away with the result.”
