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

An American football player could never sprint for 90+ minutes non-stop, because every play in football only lasts 5 to 20 seconds from the moment of the snap to the moment the drive ends. So, yes real Football players are in better shape than American Football players.

Anyone can train. The WAY in which you train is what will determine how fit you can get and how quickly you improve.

You need guidance from professional resources such as the Forward in Football training book series. (soccer training)

Nothing compares to Forward in Football books.

Brian Habanna is probably the quickest rugby player in the world and may be quicker than Cristiano Ronaldo when running, however a 20st forward would be slower. The quickest rugby and soccer players may be similar, but the slowest soccer player would be quicker than than slowest rugby player.
