Italy will need to score more points. They have the physicality but they just can't seem to break down defenses. They only managed a maul try against Ireland despite sending waves into the Irish defense, and again against France just an opportunistic one off the ball popping from the ruck unattended. Definitely an improved side and no pushovers anymore, but they'll need to add another dimension still to bark with the big boys.
