Both sorts of rugger are contact sports with little protection worn, and where the direction and method of play is determined out on the field. American football is played with great layers of padding, and the players move according to patterns determined by someone on the sideline who shouts out numbers. Also, American football seems to stop every other minute for some reason or other, while rugger only stops every five to seven minutes - for a mass melee known as a scrum. American football seemss concerned with territorial advance, rather like WW I where the taking of the next hundred yards was regarded as a victory. Rugger is more wild and less robotic. These are observations from someone who considers both games rather idiotic, and who didn't even see one bit of the soccer World Cup - and isn't even sure who won!

Italy won.
American Football and Rugby are two very different sports. They use two differently shaped balls. As pointed out Football players are covered in pads and wear helmets while Rugby players have none. In Football there are tackles with just a few players going down while in Rugby the huge pile-ups seem to involve every player on the field. In Football kicking is a great part of the game (hence the name football), in Rugby there is a whole different kicking style.
Yet, American Football evolved from Rugby.
