As the reigning champions, England are looking to claim their eighth consecutive Women's Six Nations title and achieve a fifth successive Grand Slam. John Mitchell's team has undergone some changes, including the appointment of a new captain, Megan Jones, who replaces the pregnant Zoe Stratford. Last year, England narrowly edged out France to win the tournament, with a thrilling 43-42 victory in the final match. The two top European rugby teams will face off again on the last day of the competition, May 17. A Grand Slam is awarded to a team that emerges victorious against all opponents in a single campaign, a feat that has been accomplished 25 times in the history of the tournament. The Triple Crown is awarded to a team that defeats the other three Home Nations in the same tournament, with England having achieved this 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 previous two Women's Six Nations tournaments.
