Marshall orchestrates Ospreys' Murrayfield win
12 - 30
Murrayfield   Att: 2,335
Friday 2nd March 2007, 19:30
A streetwise Ospreys with Justin Marshall at its hub earned a bonus point at Murrayfield, severely denting Edinburgh's Magners League hopes in the process.

Matt Mustchin celebrates the first try, but it was a false dawn for Edinburgh
Edinburgh fielded an under-strength side and after looking the hungrier in the initial stages were still in touch at the break.

Though Duncan Hodge missed an eighth-minute penalty the hosts went in front with a 25th-minute touchdown by utility forward Matt Mustchin that Hodge converted.

However the Ospreys struck back with two tries before half-time from Jonny Vaughton and Steve Tandy.

Things got worse shortly into the second half when Stefan Terblanche increased the visitors' lead with a penalty. And from then on it was one-way traffic.

Terblanche scored a try set up by Sonny Parker, and Justin Marshall made sure of the bonus point.

Edinburgh did grab a consolation through Ben Cairns, but the Ospreys had the last word when substitute hooker Huw Bennett ploughed over.
