In Rugby actual physical contact occurs during scrums and tackles; whereas in football the front 7 usually has some form of contact on each play plus others at times. I suspect the number of tackles in rugby exceeds the number of tackles in football, plus most rugby tackles involve single players without a running start. It would be interesting to see if scrums produce the most concussions. In short, it's hard to have simple metrics.
