R2 returns to 2nd thinking ball has been caught.
SS tags R2 (while R2 is on 2nd base) touches 2nd base with foot (before R1 reaches 2nd) and throws B1 out at first.

Triple play or R2 safe at 2nd base and R1 and B1 out?
Well, color me thick, but I don't get why this is a question. What was there to debate here? Pretty straightforward - R1 out, R2 out, BR out in that order. (Switching the runners to softballese).
