The Wallabies have indicated a strong concern that England could push the boundaries of what is acceptable in a bid to unsettle them at the Stade Velodrome, and Regan's name was mentioned by Australia coach John Connolly to the International Rugby Board's referees' chief.

"I love the physical side of the game, especially when I have got people like Andrew Sheridan, Simon Shaw and Phil Vickery amongst my friends," said Shaw. "It is why I am here. I will let my rugby do the talking this weekend."

Regan is content with England's progress so far but he accepts they need to be "hugely better" to defeat the Australians and reach the World Cup semi-finals.

"Things are going in the right direction. We need to hit top gear at the weekend," added Regan.

"We will be driven on by the underdog spirit and knowing we can perform to a better level."
