I believe that she has already signed for another club, but is
waiting until after the World Cup to announce it, does not want
the giselle Mather issue at trailfinders to become a distraction
during it.

Allianz have been announced as a sponsor of the tournament -
including extending the naming rights to Twickenham to cover the
RWC.

I imagine they have paid a decent amount of money to do so,
though how much hasn’t been reported.

Interesting as the original story was that sponsorship rules for
tournament dictated that venues had to use their traditional
names.
Which now has changed as Allianz have become sponsors, I suspect
that they decided to come on board for image reasons, which is
good as the money will go into the women’s game.
The costs will be small compared to the gains for a company like
them, shame that it took them this long.

One of the rules for an RWC host is that WR has to have control
of all the seats and all the branding in the stadiums used.
(Twickenham’s debenture holders were very upset that they
weren’t allowed to buy their regular seats for RWC 2015, though
IIRC they were given priority access to England’s allocation of
tickets).
So the RFU’s deal with Allianz didn’t extend to RWC25 - but
Allianz would have been very keen to maintain their branding for
the tournament and it seems WR were very open to negotiate it.
As you say, the additional dosh should be great for the women’s
game.
