The rudder inputs in flight are the FWB system. It's detecting the crosswind gusts as sideslip, and using the rudder to get rid of it. If you turn the flight control page on during an approach in a gusty crosswind, you can see that there is constant rudder activity.

The rudder inputs after the impact with the runway, are all pilot induced!
