Having had to test it in earnest shall we say, I can verify that if you apply a large rudder input to straighten the aircraft, after a crabbed approach in a limiting crosswind, the wings will remain level without aileron input.

It prevented us leaving the tarmac after I gave the sector away to a first officer who I thought (incorrectly as it turned out) could handle a limiting crosswind. At least we were on the upwind side of the runway.

It is not comfortable and was not my preferred landing technique!!!
