Not that there isn't something to the "no helmets = fewer injuries" idea, but I'd suspect a much larger percentage of Rugby injuries are contact injuries than those for soccer players. Mostly on the strength of the fact that there's a not insignificant number of soccer injuries that are things like rolled ankles (which rugby players can shake off more easily and still play the game) or hamstring / speed-related injuries (see Michael Owen's entire career).
