Scotland hooker Elis Martin believes his team will emerge stronger from the emotional whirlwind of their record-breaking Six Nations clash against England at Murrayfield. While a historic crowd of over 30,000 created an electric atmosphere, the occasion also brought a unique pressure, with England capitalizing to secure a decisive 84-7 victory.

Martin acknowledged the understandable "jitters" that can come with such a monumental stage. He described the sensory overload of the tunnel walk, the anthems, and a sea of faces in the stands as an incredible, if overwhelming, new experience for many players. "It's different to what we've ever experienced before," Martin told BBC Scotland, emphasizing that the raw emotion of the day was something he wouldn't change.

Looking ahead, Martin frames the match as a crucial learning moment. He suggests that the initial intensity, which may have led to early errors, is a forgivable part of growing into a top-tier team. The key takeaway is the exposure itself. The squad now knows what to expect, and Martin is confident that the next time they walk out in front of a massive, roaring crowd, they'll be better equipped to channel that energy into their performance. For a young team, these high-stakes environments are the forge where resilience and composure are built.
