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.

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.

Magnificent 7 gain experience on loan
7 members of the Leicester Tigers development squad featured in loan action this weekend across 3 sides.
Javiah Pohe was a try scorer for Nottingham in a losing effort away to Rotherham; the game also saw Henry Purdy leave the field injured after 25 minutes. Ryan Bower started at loosehead.
In National League Division One Italian tighthead Tiziano Pasquali played the whole game for Doncaster as the defeated Old Albanians 33-17 in St Albans. French flanker Lucas Guillaume played the final 23 minutes for the Yorkshiremen.
Harry Rudkin played at loosehead for Loughborough Students as they travelled to Hull Ionians and won 26-24. Harry Wells was a half time replacement in the second row and he was shown yellow in the closing stages as the Students hung on for victory.

Academy Trio Play for Nottingham on loan
Nottingham Rugby have selected 3 Tigers in their starting XV to London Scottish in Richmond this Saturday.
Winger Henry Purdy is named for his Championship debut whilst he is joined in the Notts backline by fellow England Under 20s back George Catchpole who plays 13. Catchpole, originally from Norfolk, has played 13 in the previous two Notts games this season.
In the pack Tom Price is preferred to Neilus Keogh who moves to the bench. Price impressed off the bench against London Welsh last season.
The bench sees another dual registered player as Ryan Bower covers loosehead prop.
Former Tigers Harrison Lee-Everton, Brent Wilson and Alex Shaw start whilst Michael Holford and Rory Lynn are ex-Tigers on the bench.

6th Sense for Nottingham
6 Tigers are in Championship action this weekend as Nottingham take on Leeds at Headingley. Leeds are 4th and need a win to secure a Play Off berth whilst Nottingham, in the week they announced they £250,000 to stay in business, have secured 2nd place and avoid Newcastle in the Semi Finals.
Alex Lewington and Jonny Harris both start after formerly announcing that they will be playing their rugby for London Irish next season and they are joined in the first XV by Ryan Bower and Harrison Lee-Everton. Lee-Everton is the 13th Tigers player to feature on loan in the Championship this season.
Tom Price and Andy Forsyth are both named on the replacements bench to round out the 6. Another 5 players in the match day squad have previously been on the books at Tigers.
London Irish's Alex Gray who will transfer to full time 7s next season is also named in the side.

4 Tigers to Face Pirates this Sunday
Tom Price makes his return to action this weekend after being named on the bench for promotion chasing Nottingham as they face Cornish Pirates live on Sky tomorrow lunch time.
Price was making his debut for the Leicester first team when he went down at an innocuous looking ruck. With the game not being recorded for TV it is still something of a mystery what happened next; but the result of it was Price being unconscious on the pitch for 10 minutes, requiring oxygen and being stretchered straight into the Infirmary.
It is remarkable that it is only 11 weeks later and he is back in action. Tigers opponents that day were Wasps, the poet in me wishes he was named on our bench not Nottingham's but I'll take my victories where I find them.
Alex Lewington is set to start his 12th game of the season for the Green 'n' Whites and is joined by Jonny Harris making his 4th start at loosehead prop. The pair have been heavily linked with leaving Tigers in the summer to join up with former Nottingham coach Glenn Delaney at London Irish. The other edge of the Dual Registration sword.
The 4th member of this motley crew is Ryan Bower who will join Price on the bench. Bower is a regular in the Nottingham match day squad and is looking to make his 17th appearance in the Championship this season.
A further seven of the Nottingham side have played for Tigers at either First XV, Extras or Academy level.

Jersey to start Clarefully
6 Tigers are in Championship action this weekend as they go out on loan in a quest to gain more experience and convince Richard Cockerill to give them a place in Tigers regular 23.
Charlie Clare will make his first start in the Championship for Jersey as they take on London Scottish at the Richmond Athletic Ground this Saturday. Clare over takes David Felton after 3 appearances from the substitutes bench.
On Sunday at Meadow Lane Harry Wells becomes the 12th Tigers player to go out on a dual registration deal this season and the 8th to go to Nottingham. He is the third Tigers lock to try his hand for the Green 'n' Whites after Joe Cain and Tom Price both suffered injuries. Wells is named on the bench alongside Jonny Harris and Andy Forsyth whilst Alex Lewington makes his 6th start of the season for his home town team. Ryan Bower comes into the starting XV after Iron Mike Holford was ruled out through injury and makes his first start since November.

12 to go out on Loan?
Simon Cohen has revealed that up to 12 of Tigers youngsters may go out on loan to gain first team experience. And unlike in previous years Nottingham will not gain an automatic monopoly. Already confirmed is Hinckley boy Ryan Bower returning to Nottingham where he gained rave reviews last year, he will compete with Soar Valley's Michael Holford and another ex-Tiger in Matt Parr.
In the backs Scott Steele, once he regains fitness, may well be farmed out to smooth some of his rough edges whilst Andy Forsyth and Alex Lewington might also be loaned out for game time. In the younger generation Cornish-Maori Javiah Pohe is a bright prospect.
Nottingham is an obvious location for lots of these players, though with Glen Delaney being replaced with ex-Bath lock Martin Haag perhaps Tigers will be more circumspect with the less experienced coach. Rotherham Titans might be best placed to benefit, Andre Bester is a highly thought of coach with a similar hard working philosophy to that of Tigers. Moseley, Bedford and Doncaster might also benefit, especially Doncaster as Moseley already have some loan players from Northampton and Bedford from Saracens.
