Defeated Australian skipper was gracious in defeat and praised Martin Johnson and his squad.
"Congratulations must be extended to England, they delivered under pressure and they delivered when it counted," Gregan said.
"But I'm so proud of my guys, we gutsed it out we fought back, we brought it back to extra time.
"To both Australia and England fans, it's the highlight of our careers and thank you for such a wonderful night.
