An Australian boy who was severely bullied at school was on Friday invited to lead the Indigenous All Stars rugby league team onto the field for Sunday's exhibition match.
Quaden Bayles, who has dwarfism, received an outpouring of support worldwide after his mother shared an emotional clip of him on social media.
In the viral video, the nine-year-old Indg appeared distraught after a bullying incident at his school.
During a news conference on the Gold Coast on Friday, his mother Yarraka Bayles told reporters that when Quaden received the invitation, it was "the best day of his life."
She also said that she hoped the video would create awareness for her son's condition.
Indigenous Rugby League player Cody Walker, who is taking part in the exhibition match, said his team wanted to lift Quaden's spirits.
