The execution order of ngRepeat and directives

When the Angular directive contains an ngRepeat element, the execution of ngRepeat appears after the contents instruction has been executed.

Is there a mechanism ($ watch, $ observ, etc.) that I can use to connect the response after executing ngRepeat?

Here is an example behavior: http://plnkr.co/edit/yBiSvveeSissU7Rik6Kp?p=preview

I want to work in a state in a directive where inputs are available.

My main goal is to modify the ngRepeat elements from the contained directive.
