As the reigning champions, England are aiming for their fifth consecutive Grand Slam, having won the last seven Women's Six Nations titles. However, John Mitchell's team has introduced some fresh faces, including a new captain, Megan Jones, who replaces the pregnant Zoe Stratford. England narrowly edged out France in the previous tournament, securing a 43-42 victory in the final match. The two top European rugby teams will face off again on May 17. A Grand Slam is achieved when a team defeats all their opponents in a single campaign, a feat that has occurred 25 times in the history of the Home/Five/Six Nations. The Triple Crown is awarded to a team that beats the other three teams in the same tournament, with England having achieved this 24 times. On the other hand, the Wooden Spoon is a dubious honor bestowed upon the team that finishes last in the standings, a fate that has befallen Wales in the last two Women's Six Nations tournaments.
