Italy coach Conor O'Shea said his
side must not be daunted by what looks set to be the most
challenging Six Nations campaign ever.
The Azzurri have not won a game in the tournament since they
beat Scotland in Edinburgh in 2015.
"The level is the highest in the history of the Six Nations,"
O'Shea said.
"We are playing against the second, third and fourth-placed
teams in the world ranking and we want to win in front of our
fans in Rome.
"The only thing we can control is ourselves, our desire.
"The ambition is to always play fearlessly, like we did
against Australia (in a defeat in November).
"We want this to become a habit".
