National team coach Pete Horne believes Scotland have yet to reach their full potential in the Six Nations.
After wins over England and Wales and a narrow loss to France, Scotland are second in the table heading into Saturday's trip to Italy.
But Scotland assistant coach Pete Horne says his side have missed opportunities to press their advantage in previous competitions.
“We're obviously pretty happy with where we are,” he said.
“We made some small adjustments to our game and I feel it's good that we've evolved since the World Cup.
“We were in the right situation, we should be three out of three so we can’t be disappointed with that, but we definitely feel like we left a lot of chances.
“We missed some chances against Wales and got back into the game quickly, but we didn't have the confidence to get the bonus point at the end.
“We missed three or four Stonewall chances to show what we were capable of over the weekend, just in a 10-minute flash.
“It's a good place. We're getting some decent results, but we haven't reached our potential yet.”
Scotland had the opportunity to rest their players after their win against England and will travel to Italy on Saturday to look for another strong performance.
“We have been building knowledge for a long time to really show what we have,” Horn said.
“It took us a little while to work on that evolution, but I think we're getting there. That perfect balance is something that's very difficult to achieve in rugby.”
