As the reigning champions, England are poised to claim their eighth consecutive title and fifth successive Grand Slam. However, John Mitchell's team has undergone significant changes, including the appointment of a new captain, Megan Jones, who replaces the pregnant Zoe Stratford. Last year's tournament saw a thrilling conclusion, with England narrowly edging out France 43-42 in the final match. The two European rugby powerhouses are set to meet again on the last day of the competition, May 17. A Grand Slam is achieved when a team emerges victorious against all opponents in a single campaign, a feat that has occurred 25 times in the history of the Home, Five, or Six Nations championships. The Triple Crown is awarded to a team that defeats 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 distinction bestowed upon the team that finishes last in the standings, a fate that has befallen Wales in the previous two Women's Six Nations tournaments.
