As the reigning champions with seven consecutive titles, England is the team to beat, aiming for their fifth straight Grand Slam. However, John Mitchell's squad has a fresh look, including a new captain, with Megan Jones taking over for the pregnant Zoe Stratford. Last year, England narrowly edged out France 43-42 in a thrilling finale to claim the championship. The two European rugby powerhouses will face off again on May 17 in the final match. A Grand Slam is achieved when a team defeats all opponents in a single campaign, a feat accomplished 25 times in the history of the Home/Five/Six Nations. The Triple Crown is awarded to a team that beats the other three Home Nations in the same tournament; England has secured this honor 24 times. On the other end of the spectrum, the Wooden Spoon is a distinction no team wants, given to the team that finishes last in the standings. Unfortunately, Wales has claimed this unwanted accolade in the last two Women's Six Nations tournaments.
