I suspect the answer is yes as Rugby demands high level of physical strength, stamina to maintain the tackle and attack contacts and of course to play 80 plus minutes

Not Realy considering Rugby run more then the formula one drivers, rugby players average 10 Km a session :S and why would drivers want to be fit

This answer depends on your definition of fitness. If you include speed, agility, power, endurance, strength, etc. as measures of fitness then truly a rugby player would be the fitter. Most soccer players are agile, fast, and have good endurance but they usually lack power and strength. The average soccer player is 170lbs while the average rugby player is 190lbs. Given that both have relatively low percentages of body fat, the rugby player would have more lean muscle than the soccer player. Well in long run rugby players are always running around and never stay in the same place but in football they can stand in one place so therefore rugby is a fitter sport

Both codes have very physically fit players. It would be difficult to actually say which is fitter as league has less break downs and so is a running game, union has the rucking mauling and line-outs to contend with which also take power to achieve.
No. Rugby Union = 15 players Rugby League = 13 players
