Having just watched the documentary on Sky about the accident, the AA pilot replicating the event in the simulator was applying not 1.2" rudder, but a good 6 inches or so, which is what I would expect at low speed. Who threw in this blinder about 1.2"? It is incorrect! Large inputs of rudder were made. It would appear almost full scale deflection, not 1.2" movement. To have another AA pilot testifying that it was not known that you should not use rudder under such circumstances I found slightly bizarre, and unconvincing.
