'Luke H' (above) has it spot on. I've played Rugby when a bloke has had his ankle broken, but he still played until the end of the match.
Unlike soccer players, who seem to fall over in agony if the opposing player is within 2 feet of them, Rugby players stick to the rules (most of the time!), never argue with the ref, and are, like their fans. civilised and well behaved off the pitch. I've sat with Scottish supporters at Twickenham during a Calcutta Cup match when England have won - and the Scottish lads offered both congratulations and a swig of their 'flasks'!
Soccer supporters would probably have hit me with their beer bottles! But they are set poor examples by their beloved players who foul deliberately, argue with the referee, have childish histrionics when sent off or substituted - and the frequently seen crying and wailing when soccer players lose is absolutely pitiful.
So the answer to your question is Rugby is both the more 'macho' and the more civilised of the two codes. ( NB. The same points made for Rugby Union go for Rugby League.)

Just take a look at rugby players, then look at footballers, skinny little whimps that dive on the slightest sign of contact. They go down quicker than some of the girls from my local nightclub. Rugby Everyday of the week. Rugby players are also polite off the pitch, Plus Rugby fans do not cause riots like the football idiots do.

rugby- the players have to have a beter stamina and have to be both physically and mentally strong. soccer players have to run around for 90mins and tackle to get the ball in the game which isn't that hard compared with scrums and the tackling in rugby

I'd say football is the more talented game but played by wimpish men.
Rugby is an out and out mans game imo.
