As the reigning champions, England are strong contenders, having won seven consecutive Women's Six Nations titles and aiming for their fifth straight Grand Slam. Following their World Cup victory on home turf, England's team, now led by John Mitchell and captained by Megan Jones, who replaces the pregnant Zoe Stratford, is looking fresh. England narrowly claimed the previous year's Women's Six Nations title with a thrilling 43-42 win over France in the final match, and the two European rugby powerhouses are set to clash again on May 17. 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 teams in the same tournament, with England having secured it 24 times. 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 previous two Women's Six Nations tournaments.
