Yes rugby is hard hitting, but it doesn't compare to Hockey.

Hockey is the hardest hitting collision sport in the world PERIOD. The athletes are not the biggest but they are still pretty big but the biggest hits are literally WAY WAY WAY more devastating. Consider that the these guys can skate around 2x faster than NFL'ers or rugby players are going to be running on average.

If you know anything about physics and anything about the speeds of hockey players you know that you are talking about collisions Rugby League, Union or the NFL cannot even remotely touch.

But somehow you believe this information doesn't equate into a sport being tough. This is why people say the U.S. school system is failing.

National Center for Catastrophic Injury Research
The majority of those kids died of heat related problems. Every year some dumb fucking coach makes his kids run suicides up and down the field without letting them get proper hydration and someone keels over and dies. That doesn't make the sport tougher, it means dumb ass coaches in a hot climate can kill people.

Ask any country outside the U.S how popular the N.F.L. is and they'll look at you with a blank look.
