Brighton Bears coach Nick Nurse is set for another meeting with referees amid claims of falling standards.

Nurse, one of six men to receive technical fouls during Bears' stormy win over Milton Keynes on Sunday, will join with Sheffield coach Chris Finch to meet with top refs at Gatwick this week.

Sunday's contest would have been remembered more for bewildering calls than the result until Bears stitched together their matchwinning 18-0 run.

Nurse spent long periods discussing events with match commissioner Harry Keats and admitted he contemplated walking off court in protest.

The Bears coach said: "I have got no idea what was going on out there. I wasn't upset, I was just getting tired of it all."

Bears are urging fans to buy tickets in advance for Sunday's televised showdown with southern conference leaders Thames Valley.

They are priced £8 (£5 concessions, £20 family) and are available from the Brighton Centre, by calling Ticketmaster on 0870 900 9100 or at brightonbears.com
