[Essam Wahba]

Collective nouns refer to groups of people usually. Our choice of singular or plural verb form often depends on whether we are thinking of the group as an impersonal unit(in which case we use the singular verb- and relative pronoun which) or as a collection of individuals (in which case we use the plural verb form - and relative pronoun who). Compare the following:

The team who are playing this weekend includes neither of the new signings

The team which lies third from the bottom of the league will also be relegated this year
