I have played for Leinster and Ulster (and others), and my cousin is one the greats, but I have never reached his heights. Who am I?

"Slight change of tack
Who did the Barbarians play their first match against and what was it in aid of?"
Glas, I cannot find the answer to the second part. The first match was played against Hartlepool Rovers.

Quite right. Sorry should have read 'in Wales'. It was Wales v Barbarians and it was part of the recruitment drive for WWI.

I wouldn't have got that one. The guy played all his tests in 1946-47-49. The reference to 52/54 were a bit of a red herring.

Was I wrongly blamed for not utilising a very marginal overlap, that was butchered by BOD, in 2010 against Wales?

I was once given 0/10 for a performance early in my international career and scapegoated widely in the media, only to prove my doubters wrong with a glittering international scoring record. Who am I?

Additional clues.

I was the first man from my county to represent Ireland in 80 years and many say I owe my well-honed skillset to a strong grounding in Gaelic football growing up. Who am I?

Maybe this one's been done but:
I am the all-time leading try scorer in a Tri-Nations series, with 16 tries and I was also the first player to score a try in every Tri-Nations test in one season.

A T or a T-bird
Generations apart
But that's just a brand
Yet there's more to my art.
The marque won't appear
In the in the one you require
The models are young
And two men afire
(reprise)

No Glas.
Rudyard Kipling is not the rugby player I'm looking for.
