How is having physios on pitch relevant?During the conversion both teams will invariably have water carriers and physios on pitch . The ball is clearly dead
notwithstanding the calls on dead ball etc as above - yes.

So, in the spirit of equity, I assume the White team's opponents may also make a substitution at that timethe second one is a definite 'yes' as there is a clarification exactly on it
