Wales head coach Sean Lynn said: "We will need all the grit, determination and physicality we have shown throughout this tournament against a very capable Italy side.
"We have made real strides with our performance in each game and we know we have to do that again in the final game.
"We know we have moved the dial with our performances, but we have to be an 80-minute team at Test match level.
"The players know if they win their own personal battle with their opposite number than we will have a produced a performance we can be proud of and taken another step forward."
Italy lock Alessandra Frangipani said: "We are working hard on our identity and our play. Now, especially towards the end of the tournament, there is a great desire to do well and we are working very intensely.
"It won't be an easy challenge because we know Wales are a very intense team, especially in the set-pieces like the scrum, lineout, and drive, where they know how to put opponents under significant pressure, but I believe we have also proven our worth.
"We certainly expect a very physical game, especially up front. They are very good on direct lines and very intense. However, we have all the cards in hand to try and put them in difficulty."
