Grammar
which have/has
Hi.
The highlighted part of the following sentence confuses me. I know that if there were no comma or if 'that' was used instead of which, then 'have' would be acceptable; however, I'm unsure if in this example 'has' should be used. Perhaps someone could explain under which circumstances 'which has/have' should be used.
Thanks
The sentence: The punch-up put the seal on a dreadful 10 days for the Irish following their defeats to Latvia and Iceland, WHICH HAVE severely dented their qualification hopes.
Thanks again

Could one see 'which' being used like the word 'this'? If that were the case, would it be, 'which has'?

Hi,
A very small, unrelated comment.
The punch-up put the seal on a dreadful 10 days for the Irish following their defeats to Latvia and Iceland, which have severely dented their qualification hopes.
Although you can have 'a loss to Latvia', it sounds odd to me to have 'a defeat to Latvia'. I'd say you have 'a defeat by
