As the reigning champions, having won the last seven Women's Six Nations titles, England are once again the team to beat, with their sights set on a fifth consecutive Grand Slam. Fresh from their World Cup victory on home soil, England's team, led by John Mitchell, features a new captain, Megan Jones, who replaces the pregnant Zoe Stratford. The previous year's tournament saw a thrilling conclusion, with England narrowly edging out France 43-42, and the two top European rugby teams are set to meet again on the final matchday, May 17. A Grand Slam is achieved when a team defeats all their opponents in a single campaign, a feat that has been accomplished 25 times in the history of the competition. The Triple Crown is awarded to a team that beats the other three Home Nations in the same tournament. England has claimed the Triple Crown 24 times. The Wooden Spoon is a dubious honor, given to the team that finishes last in the standings, a fate that has befallen Wales in the last two Women's Six Nations tournaments.
