All Blacks v Canada: Things more likely to happen than Canada beating New Zealand

In World Rugby's men's rankings, New Zealand comes out on top, while Canada sits 22nd. The teams last faced each other at the 2011 Rugby World Cup where the All Blacks finished ahead 79-15.

According to TAB's Rugby World Cup odds, the Canadians would have a one in 151 chance of winning, meaning it would take over 1000 years for them to come out on top, as they usually play each other every eight years.  were less favourable to the Canadians, with calculations showing a one in 250 chance - or 2000 years.

A win for Canada on Wednesday night (11.15pm NZT) would be three times more unlikely to happen than the upset just before the 2011 Rugby World Cup when Samoa beat Australia 32-23. 

To put a potential win over the All Blacks into perspective, here's something with the same one to 151 odds. 

Betting agency Paddy Power was running the same odds on US President Donald Trump converting to Islam. 

So based on the current TAB odds, what was more likely to happen?

Despite not even being released yet, bets were being taken for the movie remake of Cats the musical to win an Oscar, one of the most prestigious movie awards out there. 

Coming in with odds of 14 to one, the movie with the strangest trailer ever - it was described as a drug-induced nightmare - was more likely to take the top prize than Canada crossing the try line more times than the Kiwis.
