According to this case, it would be 2 if the official judges it to be a try and it bounced off the shoulder of the defender as in the OP.
I got 'ya. If we judge it to be a try, I would agree with that ruling as well.

But you would have to do some convincing to prove to me the ball wasn't still on it's way up...
