The thrust asymmetry created by the left engine at TOGA power with the right engine in full reverse greatly increased the right yaw forces, and they were not adequately compensated for by the crew's application of rudder and brake inputs.
VMCG???? Maintaining control with one engine out by use of rudder and/or brake is one thing - but full thrust in the opposite direction?
