A ROWDY, drunken flight to Hong Kong with members of the Australian rugby league team must have left Cathay Pacific wishing the players had stuck with their national carrier - Qantas, the 'Flying Kangaroo'.
Members of the national side, known as the 'Kangaroos', were reprimanded by their team manager, the plane's cabin crew and the captain for their unruly behaviour.
The antics of a handful of players reportedly upset passengers who had hoped for a quiet, relaxing flight from Sydney on Wednesday.
The team was flying to Britain for the World Cup.
Cathay Pacific - which the Australian side has chosen ahead of Qantas to be its official carrier - played down the fracas last night.
'I can confirm that one or two members of the team were a little boisterous,' an airline spokesman said.
