I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'outside once' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

I can't explain the rest of the clue.

(Other definitions for rine that I've seen before include "outside once" , "Old crust" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sunday Times and The Times.
