Former success at bridge all but limiting one bridge team on the outside (9)

'on the outside' is the definition.
(extrinsic means on the outside of something)

'former success at bridge all but limiting one bridge team' is the wordplay.
'former' becomes 'ex' (prefix meaning former or onetime).
'success at bridge' becomes 'trick' (the card game bridge involves taking tricks).
'all but' means to remove the last letter ('all but' can mean 'almost' or 'nearly').
'limiting' indicates putting letters inside.
'one bridge team' becomes 'nsi' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'trick' with its final letter taken off is 'tric'.
'tric' going around 'nsi' is 'trinsic'.
'ex'+'trinsic'='EXTRINSIC'
