Being a fan of either the Blues or the Warriors has been tough in recent years with both sides having gone five seasons without making their competition's respective playoffs.
Spare a thought for those who support both teams who've had to endure twice as much disappointment on a frequent basis.
But yesterday provided a double celebration with the Warriors edging the Roosters and the Blues beating the Brumbies in Canberra.
It was the first time since April 16 last year that the two Auckland sides won on the same day.
On that occasion the two sides actually played at the same time, when the Blues beat the Sharks 23-18 and the Warriors toppled the Bulldogs 24-20 in Wellington.
