But not Allianz Twickenham. Just another Allianz stadium. I hope they got a big paycheck for that

I'm never going to call it that.

Ten years according to the report. Barely hear anyone call it Landsdowne road for instance any more. I'm sure it will still be annoyingly called HQ or twickers forever too

I've got used to BT Murrayfield at this point... although obviously no one drops the sponsor name when discussing it casually. Does this affect England fans if they all refer to Twickenham as "HQ"?

Lastly, the absolute worse sponsorship is Holywood Bets Sharks. No idea what Holywood Bets are but it sounds like a B-movie, maybe one about loan sharks who specialise in gambling or something.
