As the reigning champions, England are aiming for their fifth consecutive Grand Slam, having won the last seven Women's Six Nations titles.

England narrowly edged out France in last year's tournament, with a thrilling 43-42 victory in the final match. The two European rugby powerhouses are scheduled to meet again on the final matchday, 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/Six Nations championship. The Triple Crown is awarded to a team that defeats the other three teams in the same tournament, with England having secured this honor 24 times. The Wooden Spoon is a distinction that no team wants to claim, as it signifies finishing at the bottom of the table, a fate that has befallen Wales in the last two Women's Six Nations tournaments.
