In airbus aircraft yaw dampers automatically provide turn co-ordination and yaw damping. In alternate law turn co-ordination is lost so if it's needed one can use rudders to do that. There is embargo on rapid recycling of rudders fro one end to other. During cross wind landing after flare it's normal to take-off the crab by using rudder to align with the runway. But if downwind drift develops then it cannot be corrected with rudder alone. It requires some bank and if it's not enough then a go around is the only answer.
