Ireland confirmed a triple injury setback ahead of this Saturday’s Guinness Six Nations clash with winless Wales as assistant coach Andrew Goodman dismissed any hint of complacency for the title contenders in Cardiff.

Ireland remain the only team in the championship still capable of sweeping the board and completing a Grand Slam following victories over England and Scotland and will go to the Principality Stadium seeking a Triple Crown against a Welsh team under new management and looking to avoid a 15th consecutive Test defeat.
