As the favourites to win, England are gunning for their fifth successive Grand Slam, having emerged victorious in the last seven Women's Six Nations tournaments. Following their triumphant World Cup campaign on home soil, John Mitchell's England side is looking fresh, with Megan Jones stepping in as captain in place of the pregnant Zoe Stratford. The previous year's tournament saw England narrowly edge out France 43-42 in a nail-biting finale, and the two European rugby powerhouses are set to clash again on the last matchday, 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, or Six Nations championships. The Triple Crown is awarded to a team that emerges victorious against the other three Home Nations - England, Wales, Scotland, and Ireland - in the same tournament, with England having secured this honour 24 times. The Wooden Spoon is a dubious distinction bestowed upon the team that finishes at the bottom of the standings, a fate that has befallen Wales in the last two Women's Six Nations tournaments.
