The data would suggest that rugby is indeed a more dangerous sport in the sense that a player is more likely to get hurt while playing. However, the severity of injury is likely higher in football, considering the nature of the collisions to be at a greater speed and with less control.

He did one year of rowing at University, but it was a huge time commitment and the cardio was cutting into his gainz.
He is all about the gym now, and has met most of his friends at Uni that way.

Much if the injuries in High School come from poor coaching and frankly playing surfaces. Numerous high school fields are hard as rock and poorly maintained.
We have had zero head injuries this season. Proper coaching and technique greatly reduce the instances of concussion.
