Would rugby be good cross training for rowing?

Rowing is a strength endurance sport with a huge emphasis on the legs, and I feel like rugby is kind of the same way. I don’t actually know this it just seems very physical and it goes for 80 minutes. So anyway would Rugby be a good way to keep me in shape during my offseason for crew?
I used to do a lot of combat sports so Im used to getting hit on some level.

IMHO swimming would be better as it builds your back and arms and is very aerobic.
Why not do both?
Yes. It would be a change from the weight training, (though a lot of rugby players do that too.) Only thing is to watch out for sports injuries.
