In British English (and, by extension, New Zealand English, Australian English, etc) collective nouns like sports teams are plural. Same with nouns like "family", "flock", "government" etc. So in this guy's case, assuming he's more comfortable with British English, "All Blacks is destroying the USA" would be ungrammatical to him. Just like he'd say "my family are arriving today" instead of "my family is arriving today".Could've avoided that with "All Blacks is destroying the USA."
