Immediate reaction: What Twitter thought of the Sunwolves beating the Blues

A few weeks ago, Blues fans were feeling like their side had at least salvaged something out of the 2017 season when they downed the British & Irish Lions at Eden Park.

That seems a long, long time ago now. The lowly Sunwolves gashed them for eight (!) tries in Tokyo this afternoon, on the way to a landmark 48-21 win.

Needless to say, fans back in Auckland were not happy:

This guy couldn’t resist a dig at a certain All Black’s kicking form:

Sunwolves score 48 against the Blues even with their kicker Barretting all the conversions.

While plenty doubled down by having a crack at the Auckland-based and equally disappointing Warriors NRL side:

Warriors: Well guys, we've set the new low for Auckland sporting teams.
Blues: Hold our beers!#SUNvBLU

Some pretty flawless logic from this guy, who was clearly searching for some positives:

Sunwolves smashed Blues, who smashed Lions, who ABs could only draw with. Therefore Sunwolves indisputably the world's best team! #SUNvBLU

However, like pretty much everything that’s happened this season, the last laugh can be had at the expense of Australian rugby:

The moment you realise the Sunwolves have beaten more NZL #superrugby sides in 2017 than all the Australian teams combined 🤔🤔🤔😂😂😂 #SUNvBLU pic.twitter.com/N9RRLwQbCp
