'Kicking' implies a sudden sharp input. Entirely unnecessary - just use a squeeze of rudder to align the aeroplane with the RW as you flare. Exactly as in that A380 video.

Modern aircraft probably compensate for the rolling moment which develops if a large yawing rate is used in swept wing aeroplanes.
