Can anyone confirm the law regarding when a ball is out of play?

It used to be that once a ball crossed the touch line (in the air) it was out of play. Now it seems it’s dependent on whether the receivers feet are out of play, a la basketball.

Always has been. If you're holding the ball and your foot is on the line then the ball is in touch. Line-out to the other side.
 
Yep, great showing by England, saw maybe half the match in parts but England always looked in control. Expected more from NZ but didn't seem to have any answers.
 
But if you’re stood inside the pitch and catch the ball while it’s over the line what’s the rule?

balls in play, its like cricket and judged on where the players feet are, not like football where they guess whether the ball has cross the plane of the touchline
 
Great performance from England, they were dominant in all areas for the whole game, I've never seen a NZ team strangled like that.

If the score had ended 30-0 there could have been no complaints, Englands defence was pretty much perfect, NZ weren't allowed to create any real momentum and only scored because of a botched line out.

Itoje, Curry and Underhill were on another level today.

Very impressive, if they can perform like that next weekend then the game tomorrow is a bit irrelevant.......

Agree. Ford's kicking and Tuilagi's commitment were also worthy of praise.
 
Watched it in a bar in Mornington, half Brits shouting for England, half Ozzies shouting for the All Blacks. Cracking night and a great game to watch.
I'm going to be in Melbourne airport for the final :( hopefully they'll have a tv with it on somewhere.

Yep, great result, personally i didn't think England stood a chance against the Kiwis.. Was playing with a ex Scpttish internationsl today and he was saying the same. Well done England
