@taniwharugby Yes, I think it's similar.
I just found this Ross Shield 2015 Programme. It contains quite a lot of interesting info about the tournament.

This Tui's team looks like it could be best team since the 2006 team set the benchmark for the Tui's. That 2006 team, finished 3rd in the 1st division round robin and was the first team to beat Auckland in the history of the women's championship, which started in 1999. Auckland had won 50 straight games from 1999 until the Tui's beat them 15-13.
The Tui's then lost the semi-final 10-24 to Auckland. -

HBT's write-up below.
The Manawatu Samoa v Hawke's Bay Samoa game wasn't a preseason game, but already the first game for the High Commissioners Cup. Hawke's Bay Samoa won 39 - 15.
Edited to correct the HB Samoa score.

I wasn't sure where else to post this.
One of four Hawke's Bay players in the New Zealand Marist Colts side which is on a four-match tour of Poverty Bay and Hawke's Bay, Teddy, is relishing the opportunity to receive tips from the team's head coach Steve McDowall who played 81 matches, including 46 tests for the All Blacks from 1985 to 1992.The youngest of the Bay quartet, Teddy, had 25 minutes off the bench at hooker in Saturday's 79-21 drubbing of the Poverty Bay Development team in Gisborne. On Monday he had 70 minutes as the starting tighthead prop and scored a try in a 29-7 victory against a Wairoa Selection in Wairoa.He is expecting to mark some familiar players including clubmate Lee Moleli when the tourists take on a combined Hastings Rugby and Sports-Napier Old Boys Marist Colts XV at Elwood Park from 6pm today and a Saracens XV in the curtainraiser to the Magpies Mitre 10 Cup Championship match against the Wellington Lions at Napier's McLean Park on Friday night. After this tour the apprentice builder's attention will return to the Hawke's Bay under-19 team's campaign.The Hastings Rugby and Sports trio of loosie Fale Matamata, lock JJ Scales and first five-eighth Shamara Brooks are the other Bay players in the New Zealand Marist Colts team. Hastings-based New Zealand Marist Rugby Federation general manager Neil Murphy said all four Bay players have performed well to date and he has been impressed with how well the squad has gelled during the short time it has been together. Players from all 31 New Zealand Marist clubs are represented in the squad. The concept of the New Zealand Marist Colts tour began in 1974 and each year a different region of the country is visited.https://www.nzherald.co.nz/hawkes-bay-today/sport/news/article.cfm?c_id=1503460&objectid=12258233

Results 24 August 2019
Disappointing result from the U19 seeding game. The Junior Magpies lost 5 - 15 to Manawatu. To reach the upper division of the Jock Hobbs Tournament, they will need to beat Wellington in Wellington, next week, which seems near impossible.
Wellington U19 beat Hurricanes Heartland U20 by a whopping score of 83 to 7.
Hawke's Bay Samoa won the High Commissioners Cup by also winning their last game against Whanganui: 34 - 30.
Next week starts the Farah Palmer Cup, but all teams in the Championship Divisition have the bye, so the Tui won't play, yet.
I'm still trying to figure out what competition the Hawke's Bay Saracens play in this year, because the HBRU website still has the info of 2018 and I understand things have changed. There's also a Hawke's Bay Saracens colts team that will play in a new U18 competition that starts next weekend.
A new U15 Hawke's Bay Co-ed team will play two games in September and obviously, there are the U14 and U16 rep games. Haven't seen any info about an U18 Girls rep competition this year, although other provinces have announced teams.
The HBRU web/social media/info person must have left, because the info coming out of the HBRU is significantly worse this year than last year.
