If you're concerned about the wall just falling over from its own weight nail a couple of 1x2' to each post to form a keyway of sorts. That would support it IF NO EXTERNAL LATERAL FORCES ARE APPLIED. Would probably also support it from the backfill pushing against it, especially if you alternate inside/ouside backfill. If you're worried about knocking it over with a piece of equipment, a tack strip may or may not stop it and a good wack might even bust out a piece of the rebar or (worse yet) splinter a post while knocking the wall over if it's attached.

Post back with what you end up doing and how it works out.
