Quaden Bayles: Bullied Australian boy leads out all-star rugby team - BBC News

"From the worst day of his life to the best day of his life.

A nine-year-old Australian boy has taken centre-stage at a major sporting event, days after a video of him in distress at being bullied captured hearts across the world.

Quaden Bayles, who is himself Aboriginal, led out an indigenous rugby league team in an exhibition match in Queensland against New Zealand Maoris.

Quaden's mother said he had always dreamt of being a rugby league star.

She posted the clip of him crying after he was targeted at school for dwarfism.
