Italy are on the back of a 31-19 defeat against Scotland, but they have toppled Wales twice in their last three Six Nations meetings, although it is 18 years since they achieved it on home soil.
“We can make a clear improvement on things – they are not massive fixes,” said Adams.
“They are things we need to bring to the front of our minds and make a real focus point for the week.
“We have got to be a lot better in certain areas. Italy are a very good side, they have got nice continuity, and teams probably don’t give them credit for how physical they are.
“I think Nice will be a really good opportunity for us to stay tight and try to motivate us to put in a big performance for the country next weekend.”
Adams reiterated how much playing for Wales meant to the squad.
“I can never question anyone’s commitment to this team,” he said.
“Whoever puts the jersey on I know will give their right arm or right leg for this side. I would as well.
“I go out there and give nothing but my best every single time and I try and do what’s best for the team.”
