Despite the hot air bravado post, I think Rosie's driver played a good and stiff (but measured) defense. Retrospectively he let his mouth (er fingers) run a little too much which is why I assume he took his posts down. If his intent had been to disable 1501, he could have easily continued the tip onto it's back. Instead he left to go play defense elsewhere until 1501 was active again.

From the video alone, you should be able to see Rosie drive toward 1501 as it began the righting action. I saw it in person too. They didn't "leave to go play defense", 1501 played possum to get them to stop defending.
This is something they agree on and the refs missed. No big deal overall, but what happened happened and it changed the outcome of the match.
