James Ryan doesn't believe that Wales will be anything but fully focused ahead of next week's Grand Slam clash in Cardiff.
Warren Gatland said that talk about a proposed merger between the regions did affect some of the players before the narrow win over Scotland.
Wales escaped from Murrayfield with a 18-11 victory yesterday to set up a clean sweep.
Meanwhile, Joe Schmidt's side produced their best showing of the Six Nations when beating France but need Scotland to shock England in Twickenham next week in order to have any chance of retaining their title.
"Definitely, [they'll be fully focused]," Ryan told reporters after the 26-14 win.
"You only have to watch Wales when they are singing the national anthem in the Millennium Stadium how much it means to them.
"They'll definitely be raring to go.
"I'm sure they do [have momentum]. What can we do to counteract it? I think we can control what is in front of us this week.
"Recovery is massive for us with the six-day turnaround. There's plenty of guys in the ice bath already and I think the next 24 hours are really important in that regards.
"From there we'll hit the ground running on Tuesday and work on a few things that we could have been better at there and hopefully bring that to Cardiff.
"I had a look [at the Scotland game]. They are a quality outfit.
"They've really shown that so far in the championship they'll be all guns blazing next week."
Man of the match Ryan cut a delighted figure after the game, and said he was delighted to get back out there after being rested against Italy. He was part of a forward pack that won 17 of 18 lineouts.
"We loved it, it was great to be back at home, obviously we were on the road for a bit," the 22-year-old Leinster lock said. "The support was great and it was great to be back in the Aviva.
"The lineout went well, Hendy did a great job calling and our process and fundamentals were all there so we're happy with that."
