Claim 1: “England secure fifth consecutive Grand Slam with victory over France in Bordeaux”

DISPUTED

The claim states it was a 'fifth consecutive Grand Slam'. However, evidence from the Guardian and BBC regarding the 2025 event mentions an 'eighth successive Women's Six Nations title'. Additionally, a 2024 report mentions they were seeking their 'third consecutive Grand Slam'. The specific count of consecutive Grand Slams is not consistently supported by the provided evidence.
