With just three tries in three matches, it's clear Wales' attack is far from firing on all cylinders.
Especially when you note that one of those came from a driving maul and another was an interception. With ball-in-hand, Warren Gatland's Wales have largely picked up where Wayne Pivac's left off.
After failing to convert limited red-zone pressure against Ireland and Scotland, it was a similar tale against England on the weekend. But are there signs of life in Wales' stagnant attack and how do they go about unlocking it?
Well, the first point is that it's probably important to understand what Wales are trying to do and why they're trying to do it. Right now, Wales are lacking in carriers capable of winning collisions, while breakdown clearout remains an issue as it has done for the past four or so years.
The set-piece is also fallible at key times, which doesn't help matters when it comes to establishing field position and striking from forays into the opposition half.
For many people, the constant kicking was a source of frustration but it's quite simply the best - and, at times, only - way to progress down the pitch.
Few teams in world rugby can just break down defences at will from deep. Certainly, Wales can't do it well enough to rely on that as a tactic.
One example in the first-half showed how Wales went from just outside their own 22 to forcing a goal-line dropout. It's not groundbreaking, but it gets you in the right part of the pitch.
It also highlighted the work Wales still need to do in transition.
Wales went through a few phases, clearly setting up for a box-kick. Eventually, they do put the ball in the air - but crucially, the kick is too short for Freddie Steward to claim.
Louis Rees-Zammit is able to take the ball and suddenly Wales can attack against an unorganised England defence. However, it's all a little messy.
Tomos Williams isn't at the ruck so Christ Tshiunza steps in at scrum-half, passing it out to a pod of forwards. There's space out wide, so the pod pulls the ball back behind - with both Tomos and Owen Williams loitering behind to instigate the play.
That might be a deliberate ploy, given Tomos Williams' strength in broken-field opportunities, but Wales don't seem totally committed to it.
Perhaps put off by the presence of two half-backs, the pass isn't on the money and Owen Williams has to check his run to take the ball.
He still gets it away to debutant Mason Grady and it's great work by the centre to read the space that his man will overcompensate to fill, stepping outside him at a weak shoulder before spreading a pass to Josh Adams. The wing kicks behind and England end up touching it down in-goal.
Wales are heading down the route of being a side that lives off scraps, but to be that side, you've got to be able to snap into that mode when the opportunity arises. Sure, they get a territorial gain here, but there's a lack of detail and accuracy that is a recurring theme.
A structural problem
Of course, the bigger issue is the lack of detail in structured phase play. There are actually nice moments, with the 10-12-13 combination of Owen Williams, Joe Hawkins and Mason Grady showing up well, but it's held back somewhat by other issues - be it in the breakdown or the general lack of shape.
From a lineout, a late ball to Grady gets the centre over the gainline, before they carry well around the corner through a forward.
England clearly expect them to continue moving that way, with forwards folding around the ruck, but Owen Williams spots this and pivots to the other side of the ruck, taking the ball in motion. There, he notices a gap and carries hard to the line.
On the next phase, Hawkins carries similarly hard to the line. One good thing to come from the recent matches is the playmaking centre and the pressure he takes off the fly-half to survive every phase.
Frustratingly, Wales' clearout detail is lacking and Tomos Williams gets caught at the base of the ruck as a result.
Despite that, Wales keep ball and go through a few phases. However, the ball never goes more than two passes out from the ruck - in fact, there's never any threat of that at all.
When the pack carry it, it's in pods of three that don't really challenge the defence due to how unconnected they are. We see that when Adam Beard tries to carry as Wales move back infield, but he's easily stopped in his tracks.
Wales' lack of genuine carriers in the pack is an issue that continues to blight them, making it hard from phase to phase to generate success.
Where they did create some weak shoulders was when Williams took the ball square and brought in his back-three with tight pull-back passes. The first to Josh Adams helps them reach the edge.
Then the next produces a line break for Rees-Zammit and gets Wales into the 22. It's simple stuff, playing flat, holding defenders and timing passes just right.
Once into the 22 though, Wales revert to one-up carries to try break down defences - but the detail is missing. Taulupe Faletau opts for a pick-and-go, but there's no other forwards near him in support.
Even with Alex Dombrandt's jackal being illegal as he fails to support his bodyweight, the fact of the matter is Wales gave England that opportunity in the first place.
It was a similar story on their next foray into the 22. One ruck saw four Welsh forwards pile in with no turnover threat, leaving England free to keep bodies on their feet and dictate how they defend.
One phase later, Beard carries in again and gets chopped down immediately, but it's the sheer numbers of England forwards on their feet folding around the corner that does it for Wales.
Ellis Genge feigns going in for the jackal, sucking Alun Wyn Jones in, allowing Lewis Ludlam to get over the ball and survive Tomas Francis's clearout.
It's all a little individualistic at the minute, with little in the way of a coherent plan. There'll be flashes where Wales' talented backline create something by taking it flat to the line, but the long and short of it is that Wales can't win enough collisions or secure enough rucks to stress Test defences over multiple phases.
Living off scraps from the kicking game might be their best bet of success and it'll be one they'll lean on in the remaining games.
The midfield combination hinted at some promising signs, but the foundations are lacking right now. Finding a way around that will be easier said than done.
