Dallan, training in Rovato with his fellow Italians under the gaze of coach John Kirwan, said that the mood in the Azzurri camp was high.
"We are training hard and well for this coming Six Nations and also trying a few newcomers," he said.
"I'm coming back from an injury but I'm in good shape and willing to play.
"The first match against the world champions appears impossible but don't forget we always do well in the opening match especially against Scotland and Wales and you never know what can happen."
