just another ref's post is worth further investigation. At this point, I don't have a strong opinion, so I'll just sit back and be a spectator. Extra butter, please.

Thanks for the Rule references....
When I read Rule 6.7 Art 9 (Exception) - it reads that the '...ball does not become dead until until the try or tap ends...' So does the touch of A2 cause the original 'try' to end? IMHO - I think not.
Also, in the same section, the
Note: If A1's try is "legally" touched in flight (does not differentiate by whom), the goal counts if made, if the period ends BEFORE or AFTER the legal touching.
This tells me that the 'legal touch' by A2 would still allow the goal to count either before/after the period ending w/the horn sounding.
Hence, in both scenarios A2 or B2 'legal' touch (according to the rules) appears to allow the goal to count !
