Tigers development squad continues its learning curve this week as 9 members are out on loan learning the ropes of professional rugby.
Tonight Nottingham face Munster A in the British & Irish Cup. Ryan Bower and Tom Price return to the pack and will be looking to press their claims for Championship action. George Catchpole continues in midfield whilst Harry Thacker is in line for his Nottingham debut should he feature from the bench.
Doncaster welcome Cinderford to Castle Park as they seek an immediate return to the Championship. Italian Prop Riccardo Brugnara retains his place at loosehead whilst Lucas Guillame switches from blindside to Number 8.
Tiziano Pasquali is a member of the wider European squad so presumably is required in Treviso with the first team.
Loughborough Students travel to east London to face historic opponents Blackheath. Harry Rudkin is named as loosehead, though he was named last week and had to pull out, whilst Harry Wells continues in the engine room at lock. Scott Steele drops to the bench after starting last week. Former academy player Jake Albon is also in the Starting XV.

Loan Report: Joy for Donny, but no Home Comforts for Notts or Students
8 members of Leicester Tigers Development Squad were in action this weekend as they seek to gain experience and push for a first team opportunity.
On Saturday National League 1 leaders Doncaster traveled to the imaginatively named "Rugby Ground" and beat newly promoted Worthing 21-17 courtesy of a penalty try engineered by 20 year old loosehead Riccardo Brugnara. Brugnara played almost the whole match, not being replaced until the 77th minute, as the Knights remained in pole position for a promotion to the Championship. Flanker Lucas Guillaume played the whole match on the blindside whilst 19 year old tighthead Tiziano Pasquali played the final half hour after replacing Darren Morris.
Loughborough Students did not have such a good weekend falling at home to Wharfedale 27-7. 20 year old Scottish scrum half Scott Steele made his first start for the Students before being replaced in the 50th minute whilst Harry Wells played the whole match from the second row. The Students started brightly with an early try giving them a 7-0 lead; but that was as good as it got for the Students as the experienced Yorkshire side pulled away from them with two tries in 5 minutes during the second half.
On Sunday struggling Nottingham entertained Ealing at Meadow Lane. The Londoners had only won one game in their inaugural season at the second level whilst Nottingham finished last season 2nd in the regular season. As you can probably guess from that build up it was the visitors from London who shocked the Midlanders with a 28-27 win.
Outside backs Henry Purdy and George Catchpole played the whole match whilst Ryan Bower emerged from the replacements bench in the 55th minute for Fijian loosehead Campese Ma'afu. Nottingham scored 4 tries with scores for Bath wing Ollie Woodburn and a hat trick for former Tigers flanker Brent Wilson.

4 Tigers in National League Action
Four young Leicester Tigers forwards will be in National League 1 action this weekend as they seek to gain experience and push for a place in the First Team squad.

Former Tiger Will Hurrell is on the left wing whilst Luke Myring is on the bench.

Just Gr8 experience for Tigers Development Squad
8 members of the Leicester Tigers development squad will be in dual registration action this weekend. Nottingham and Doncaster have 3 Tigers a piece whilst Loughborough Students have 2 young Tigers in the tight five.
In the Greene King IPA Championship Ryan Bower will start for Nottingham against the Cornish Pirates. Bower plays his 39th game in his third season dual registered with the Green 'n' Whites. Also involved are Tom Price and Harry Thacker who are named on the bench. Former Tigers in the Nottingham squad include Finlay Barnham, Rory Lynn, Michael Holford, Dan Montague, Alex Shaw and Brent Wilson.
One level further down there is also plenty of interest as Doncaster face Rosslyn Park whilst Loughborough Students are at home to Cinderford in SSE National League 1.
Italian tighthead Tiziano Pasquali continues his apprenticeship at this level for the Knights and he is joined in the starting XV by Lucas Guillaume. Guillaume made his Doncaster debut from the bench in last week's victory against Esher which saw the Yorkshire men return to the top of the pile. Further Tigers interest is on the bench with Riccardo Brugnara. The 19 year old loosehead from Italy could make his league debut if he features and if he replaces ex-Tiger Darren Morris in the front row the Knights will be fielding an all-Italian front row alongside Parsquali and countryman Santamaria.
Rosslyn Park are Doncaster's closest challengers at this stage so it is a big vote of confidence in the Tigers trio to be included.
Loughborough feature England Under 20s forwards Harry Rudkin at loosehead and Harry Wells at lock. Wells featured from the bench last week and partners former Tigers academy captain Jake Albon in the engine room.

1 Harry Rudkin
