Full reverse on one engine with the other engine at forward idle is controllable using rudder only down to ~60 knots (which, not coincidentally, is the speed at which you're supposed to be down to reverse idle). That's actually a regulation and gets demonstrated during certification.
If the engine in forward isn't at idle (or shut down), all bets are off...
