Thats a horrible feeling.. ^^
I've played both rugby and North American football (organized, flag and touch) and both sports are hard. I'd say overall Rugby is a faster and tougher game because transitions happen instantly and most players have to have a similar rudimentary skillset in terms of passing, kicking and running. NA football usually requires you to hit someone everyone snap of the ball depending on your position and those positions are quite unique comparatively.
I know there's an old joke - We don't require pads to play rugger, but they're also two very different games. I played middle linebacker and corner linebacker which are defensive positions for the entire game and I got to do the hitting. (stopping the offense) And after most games I was bruised up pretty good and really really sore...and I'm the guy who's supposed to be laying out the hits
Same with kicking. We had a tiny guy who played soccer and he could hit field goals from 60 yards out. It's the format that makes it tough. Usually in rugby or AFL you're kicking on the run when you have an opening. In our football there's 11 or 12 guys coming right at the kicker and the guy pinning the ball as soon as the whistle blows. It's unnerving
