Why not just ask the rugby player to run in to a wall?
Here's the difference between a rugby player and an pro footballer. The largest rugby players are are nearly 242lbs. By comparison Jonathan Ogden is 6'9" and weights about 345lbs. Aaron Gibson played at 6' 6" and 410lbs.
For their size these men are extremely agile and enormously strong. They flatten 250lbs opponents on a regular basis. Any rugby player crazy enough to take one of these guys on had better be wearing a helmet or he might just get his head flattened.
On a final note, I've played both sports. Both are tough on the body. I chose football (American) because I like my teeth in my head.
