"We just did the little things right," Regan said.
"We've been practicing some things at training and putting them into practice."
The Mungoes' men's side took out the Oberon Tigers on Saturday, meaning both deciders will be at the university and even though the Mungals have to take out the Barbarians before planning a rematch with the Heelers, Regan has very little doubts over who's going to win.
"From what I've watched this year, that's who we'll be playing against," he said.
"You'd be a brave man to bet against CSU this weekend."
"It doesn't matter where you play in a grand final. We'll be ready regardless."
