They DO get concussions, but not at the same rate for the reason you mentioned. Rugby tackling does not employ the head as a weapon. However, rugby also has some stupid rules that will never let it become mainstream. The best bet is that football will incorporate the tackling methods of rugby to stave off concussions.
