I found this study for high school sports. It looks like Rugby is worse by far. 8 times worse than football.
I'm surprised soccer doesn't have a higher concussion rate though it is high.
"Looking at a study published by Complete Concussion Management (CCM), the following concussion rates were discovered:
Rugby (4.18/1,000 AE)
Ice hockey (1.20/1,000 AE)
American football (0.53/1,000 AE)
Lacrosse (0.24/1,000 AE)
Soccer (0.23/1,000 AE)
Wrestling (0.17/1,000 AE)
Basketball (0.13/1,000 AE)
Softball & field hockey (0.10/1,000 AE)
Baseball (0.016/1,000 AE)
Cheerleading (0.07/1,000 AE)
Volleyball (0.03/1,000 AE)"
