I think the main difference is the international football matches tend to have genuine football fans and supporters. The rugby internationals are more like a day out, and half the people in the ground have no real interest in rugby, and the other half are there on a corporate freebie. A bit like tennis, where people who would'nt go around the corner to watch a tennis game will queue up in their thousands to watch a Wimbledon match, and then totally ignore the game for twelve months before queueing up again for the next Wimbledon.
