2) Regardless of A's decision on the holding penalty, the USC will be enforced on the succeeding spot. See 10-4-5a & 10-2-4.
3) The succeeding spot is the 3-yard line for the try. See 2-40-10, 8-3-1.
4) If A accepts the holding penalty, there must be an untimed down. See 3-3-3a.
5) A free kick is a down. See 2-7-1.
6) Points 4 & 5 should not deter A from accepting the holding penalty. They can always just nudge the ball off the tee and fall on it.
