Quaden Bayles, a 9-year-old Australian boy who won the support of well-wishers around the world after being bullied for his dwarfism, has led out a rugby league team in front of thousands of cheering fans.
Bayles walked out with the National Rugby League's Indigenous All Stars team ahead of an exhibition match against the New Zealand Maoris on Saturday.
He had been invited by the entire team in a video posted online, in which captain Latrell Mitchell told him: "We've got your back. We're here to support you, bud."
