An IRFU spokesman explained of the decision to stay at Trump hotel.
“There was a limited choice of hotels available because of a packaging conference in Chicago that same week,”
“This hotel has the capacity to house the team, providing the number bedrooms and team rooms we require. That’s it.”
Tickets for Soldier Field are not yet sold out.
