Rising in a high-speed lift (1 storey per second) you will feel a force of a 0.9% of a gee pushing you east.
I don't think it will affect anyone's Rugby skills.

5-6%, or a 10-12% range in ability, would be quite significant in many situations. With guns, having to shoot higher or lower by that much (and it would be more at bullet velocities) would give a huge penalty to skill.
I think
Rotating Frame G-Experience would be a valid enhancement if you want to go for realism.
