    Fa'alogo Tana Umaga is reminding his players the only thing they can control is their own effort


    The Moana Pasifika coach has admitted to franchise-wide disappointment they will not host the Chiefs in Tonga this year ... but wants vocal supporters in the stands against the Western Force tonight in Pukekohe.
