As the reigning champions, England are aiming for their eighth consecutive title and fifth successive Grand Slam. However, John Mitchell's team has undergone changes, including the appointment of a new captain, Megan Jones, who replaces the pregnant Zoe Stratford. England narrowly edged out France 43-42 in the previous tournament, and the two teams are set to meet again on the final matchday, May 17. A Grand Slam is achieved when a team defeats all their opponents in a single campaign, a feat accomplished 25 times in the history of the Home, Five, and Six Nations championships. The Triple Crown is awarded to a team that emerges victorious against the other three Home Nations - England, Wales, Scotland, and Ireland - in the same tournament. England has secured the Triple Crown 24 times. The Wooden Spoon is a dubious honor bestowed upon the team that finishes at the bottom of the table, a fate that has befallen Wales in the last two Women's Six Nations tournaments.
