Yeah i have played both as well and i completely disagree... (big surprise)
nobody is running at you from 15 yards away at full speed, cracking their skull into your face in rugby--and that isn't even half as bad as the average punt or kickoff where they run at you from even further. This never happens in rugby. Rugby may hurt more because there is no gear but people are more cautious because of the lack of gear, even the nutbars. Both are very rough in different ways but football is down right lethal with the violent blows that happen with at least 3 out of 4 plays.
