I reviewed the article as part of the Wikipedia:Unreviewed featured articles/2020/2004–2009 and I found the following problems. If these aren't addressed then the article will need a featured article review in due course.

Early in the article it states a winning record of 76%, later on it says 76.95%. Should the first figure be rounded to 77%? Maybe just verify in case I'm mis-reading. 125.238.239.27 (talk) 08:16, 20 August 2023 (UTC)
The result of the move request was: not moved. Per consensus, WP:CONSISTENT. – robertsky (talk) 13:15, 5 January 2024 (UTC)
New Zealand national rugby union team → All Blacks – All Blacks is by far the WP:COMMONNAME, and I personally did not understand just by looking at the title that this article was referring to the All Blacks. Looking on Google Scholar, "All Blacks" has 7,180 results whereas "New Zealand national rugby union team" has 39.
This article was moved from All Blacks in 2008, which I disagree with the reasoning for. For one, it cites consistency with other articles which is an argument to avoid, and there is no sports naming convention which gives precedence to the current name. Another point in that discussion was that non-New Zealand countries refer to it as "New Zealand" rather than "All Blacks", but it appears to me that media headlines refer to it as "All Blacks", eg here, here, here, and here, so it shouldn't cause confusion to readers. —Panamitsu (talk) 10:19, 21 December 2023 (UTC) — Relisting.
