Nottingham will play their Championship match with Exeter on 7 November at Leicester's home ground Welford Road.

The venue has been changed after Notts County were drawn at home in the FA Cup on the same weekend.

Nottingham Forest also play at home that weekend, meaning Notts cannot play their cup tie on the same day.

"We're delighted that Leicester Tigers are in a position to allow us to play our next home game at Welford Road," said director of rugby Glenn Delaney.

Kick-off for the Exeter game will be at 1615 GMT.

"Leicester and Nottingham have enjoyed a friendly rivalry as neighbours over many years and have also forged a very successful relationship in recent years," Delaney added.

"Welford Road is one of the best, if not the best rugby ground in England and it will be really good to see a good crowd down there."
