Quaden Bayles, Australian boy bullied for dwarfism, leads out rugby league team

Indigenous All Stars invited nine-year-old rugby fan after seeing video of him crying

Quaden Bayles, the Australian boy who was bullied at school for dwarfism and received an outpouring of global support after a video of him sobbing went viral, has led out an Indigenous rugby league team.

The nine-year-old, who is an Aboriginal Australian and hopes to become a professional rugby player, strode on to the pitch with the players for an exhibition match in Queensland between Australia's Indigenous All Stars, made up of Indigenous and Torres Strait Islander players, and the New Zealand MAoris, just days after his mother posted a clip of him crying after school.
