    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.

    Umaga says sticking to the patterns they've practised while under pressure from the Force is a key goal.



    Kickoff's at 7.05pm ... live commentary on Gold Sport and iHeartRadio.
