But the defence argued the sex was consensual and the woman only complained to police after her claims "snowballed''.
Michael Morris, 22, of Red Hill, and Matthew Holloway, 22, of Bonython, are on trial in the ACT Supreme Court accused of sexual intercourse without consent and committing acts of indecency on the woman on March 12, 2012.
Both men have pleaded not guilty.
Morris, however, has pleaded guilty to committing an act of indecency by filming the sex on his computer, which he deleted almost immediately.
Holloway's barrister, James Sabharwal, used his closing submission on Thursday to cast doubt on the woman's evidence.
Mr Sabharwal said the woman had initially not wanted to report the matter to police, but had been urged to after her claims "snowballed out of control". He said the woman did not make the initial allegation of rape, instead she agreed to the suggestion after it had been put to her by her mother.
He argued she only went to police, after a delay of weeks, because too many people had heard her story.
But Mr Sabharwal said the woman's allegations were undermined by several inconsistencies, including false claims that she had been covered in cuts and bruises after the incident and the fact that she contacted Morris only hours later to ask about his plans.
He urged jurors to find his client not guilty on all counts. But the Crown - led by Mark Fernandez - told jurors the woman had been so intoxicated that consent could not have been freely given.
"You're not in a position to consent to anything in that state," Mr Fernandez said.
The court has also heard that Morris filmed the sex on his computer, which he deleted almost immediately after, without the woman's knowledge.
Forensic experts were later unable to retrieve the erased footage.
Jurors were also played several of Morris' phone conversations, which were intercepted by police, in which he tells a friend the woman initiated the sex.
But Mr Fernandez said the fact that Morris began to record as soon as the trio entered his bedroom showed he had planned to have sex with the woman.
Morris' barrister, Jack Pappas, will begin his final submissions on Friday morning.
Chief Justice Helen Murrell will then give jurors final directions before sending them to deliberate on their verdict.
