England have reigned supreme in the Women's Six Nations for seven years. Victory over France on the final day of last year's tournament delivered a third consecutive Grand Slam and they will start the defence of their title as strong favourites to claim the clean sweep once again.

In last year’s tournament, they scored at least 40 points in every single game and conceded more than 10 points just once as they won on the road in Italy, Scotland and France and beat Wales and Ireland at home. England have not lost a home game in the Six Nations since 2015, winning 21 in a row on home soil.

England climbed to the top of the Women's Six Nations table with a 38-5 win over Italy on Sunday. After a dominant first half, England struggled to maintain momentum in the second period, only scoring one try at the very end.
