The plan by Ireland's rugby team to stay at the five‑star Trump International Hotel and Tower in Chicago has erupted in a political brawl in Ireland.
Ireland plays the world champion New Zealand All Blacks at Soldier Field on Sunday and booked the accommodation for its 34‑man squad and support staff.
A group of Irish politicians say this as an endorsement of Donald Trump and wants team management to reconsider the choice.
A spokesperson for the group, Brid Smith says Donald Trump could certainly use this as an endorsement as there is a huge amount of people in the US with Irish backgrounds.
The Ireland‑All Blacks game kicks off three days before the US presidential election in front of an expected sell‑out crowd of U.S. and visiting rugby fans.
The All Blacks will play Ireland at 9am this Sunday.
Wales will play Australia at 3.30am Sunday while the Barbarians play South Africa at 4am Sunday.
