Krusty the Clown is Neil Francis’ pick to replace the current Leinster coach

'After Friday's arcane performance against Benetton Treviso, we have four new candidates who are qualified on the basis that they could do a better job than O'Connor did on Friday night. Krusty the Clown, Panti Bliss, Pee Wee Herman and the Grand Old Duke of York could not do any worse than the shambles we saw at the RDS.'

'If it has come to pass that Leinster are reduced to fumbling their way past a side like Trevsio at home, so that they can be assured of Champions Cup competition again next year, then we have reached the low watermark in Leinster's halcyon dynasty.'

'The error count, the handling mistakes, the aimless kicking, the inability to give and take a pass even in wet conditions, the evisceration of their tight platform in the Pro12, the mistakes that are made week in, week out without recognition or correction. Do we think that a new season or the June break will mend things, give management time to think things through, maybe understand that their strategy or the way that they want to play the game just isn't working?'
