In international/super 14 rugby for example there is the referee that blows the game on the field. He is supported on either touch line by one Touch Judge (TJ). There are therefore 2 TJs. They help the referee with line out positions, off side calls, foul play calls, conversion/penalty kicks/drop goals, and other general matters is assistance to the referee and on their recommendation to the referee penalize the offenders accordingly.
