Scotland stronger for emotional occasion - Martin

Scotland hooker Elis Martin says the players will learn to deal with emotion of big occasions better after their experience against England.

A record of over 30,000 people turned out to watch the Six Nations encounter at Murrayfield which was charged with emotion for the Scotland players.

But England spoiled the party in brutal fashion as they ran in 12 tries to run out 84-7 winners.

Martin says it was understandable if there were some "jitters" from Scotland, and they wil be stronger for the experience.

"It's different to what we've ever experienced before. It's the first time a lot of people have felt 'Oh wow - there's more people than I can count.'," Martin told BBC Scotland.

"You couldn't even see people up in the stands. It was incredible and exactly what we want.

"But it's a difference. Even the tunnel, the anthems, having the piper it was all amazingf. The emotions were incredible, and I wouldn't wouldn't personally change that for the world, the way that felt.

"It might feel at the end of the day that the game was the most important thing. But taking a moment to take that emotion in and have a tear in your eye - I can forgive it.

"I can forgive it if the first try was because people were a bit over-stimulated and overwhelmed.

"We want that again and again, and by the second time it all happens when we have 40,000 next time, people will be used to it."
