Abstract: Purpose: As the start of the 10th Rugby Union World Cup approaches performance staff will be working on the final elements of their team's preparation. Much of this planning and preparation will be underpinned by the latest performance science research. In this invited commentary we discuss contemporary performance science research in rugby union centered around four key performance domains. First, we outline a systematic approach to developing an overall understanding of the game demands, and how performance staff can enhance the players preparedness for competition. We then move on to outline our understanding of the training science domain, followed by a brief overview of effective recovery strategies at major tournaments. Finally, we outline research in the area of competition day strategies, and how they can positively impact players readiness to compete.Conclusions: Evaluating a teams preparation for and during the Rugby Union World cup can be achieved by mapping their performance plan based on the four domains outlined above.
