New South Wales duo Jarryd Hayne and Michael Ennis were reportedly forced to catch a cab to Suncorp Stadium after missing the team bus prior to the disastrous 34-6 loss to Queensland in Origin II.
It's not yet known why the two players missed the bus or why it took off without them.
Hayne and Ennis made it onto the field but were helpless to stop the Maroons running away with the game and a fifth straight series win.
The highly embarrassing incident caps the worst build-up to a game in Origin's 30-year history.
It’s been one debacle after another since the Blues entered camp 10 days ago.
Mystery and confusion over the make-up of the 17-man squad was followed by swipes at Queensland over its selection of AFL defector Israel Folau.
Then came the Andrew Johns racial slurs controversy which led to Timana Tahu walking out on the team.
NSW officials have launched an investigation into the missed bus affair, while Blues coach Craig Bellamy must now somehow pick up the pieces ahead of the dead rubber series finale in three weeks.
