The South Sydney Rabbitohs players were rushed to hospital amid fears of a possible overdose of painkillers
Two stars of Australian rugby league have reportedly been rushed to hospital in a serious condition.
South Sydney Rabbitohs players Dylan Walker and Aaron Gray were taken to St Vincent's Hospital in Darlinghurst, in Sydney's inner-city.
Walker, 20, and Gray, 21, were found inside a home about 3.45am on Tuesday
A St Vincent's Hospital spokeswoman confirmed two men in their 20s were rushed to hospital in the early hours of the morning.
The South Sydney Rabbitohs, owned by Hollywood star Russell Crowe, have so far not commented.
A reporter for Australia’s Nine News, Danny Weidler, said: "Initial reports were suggesting a possible drug overdose, that has not been confirmed by anybody.
“What has been confirmed by Dylan Walker's agent through his sister ... Dylan Walker had some kind of reaction to the drugs oxycodeine and Tramadol.
"He's had an operation recently. They are drugs used in relation to pain.
“We are not sure exactly yet of what Aaron Grey has reacted to, why he was there. They are both in hospital in a stable condition now.”
Both players were an integral part of this year's season only going out in the qualifying finals losing to Cronula Sharks 28 - 12.
The pair were initially in a serious condition but are now stable and remain in hospital.
