Its customary to use Sir for a male official and Mam for a female the phrase "ref" is also used. Rugby has a great tradition of treating the officials with such respect and youll not see the pushing and intimidation suffered by officials in others sports on the rugby pitch. Indeed to abuse, argue swear at or try to influance an officials decison can and does bring in the first instance penalty and reoccurance after warning will and does bring a yellow card.

What do women rugby players call the referee?

REF - Referee or Marm (said MAM) or Madam. It is a pleasant situation that in Rugby in both codes the referee is highly respected and in the past before female referees and officials were involved everyone playing the games referred to the referee as "sir". They still do today (now that's a note of respect ) This is why females are referred to as Madam etc.
