We would be wrong to hide our extreme disappointment, and the wounds of that disappointment will not heal easily.

If we do not have reconciliation, we will not be able to heal the wounds, they will remain open. We live in a society where individuals are part of a group, and we fear that there will be actions of revenge and vendetta.

It's painful, but we can't heal ourselves unless we cleanse the wounds.

to heal
you have to
get to the root
of the wound
and kiss it all the way up

For violence, like Achilles' lance, can heal the wounds it has inflicted

This is a superb result for rugby as it allows us to plan the future with certainty and confidence.
