(CNN) - Quaden Bayles, the 9-year-old Australian boy who won the support of people around the world after being bullied for his dwarfism, led a rugby league team in front of thousands of fans who they cheered.

Bayles jumped onto the field with the Indigenous All Stars team of the National Rugby League before starting the exhibition match against the New Zealand Maori on Saturday.

The minor had been invited by the entire team in a video posted online, in which Captain Latrell Mitchell said: “We support you. We are here to support you, friend. ”

Earlier this week, Bayles' mother, Yarraka, from the Australian state of Queensland, posted a heartbreaking video on Facebook to raise awareness about the impact of bullying. In the video, she revealed that her son had attempted suicide.

"This is what bullying does," he said in the video. "Can you please educate your children, your families, your friends?"

The video was seen millions of times after its publication on Tuesday, and Bayles received a great deal of support from around the world, so much so that hundreds of thousands of dollars have been raised to send to Disneyland.

The Maori defeated the Indigenous All Stars 30-16 in the game that took place at the Cbus Super Stadium in the Gold Coast of Australia, and Bayles watched the match from one side of the field.

Among the other famous faces that supported Bayles was the Australian actor Hugh Jackman, who posted a video on Twitter telling the Australian boy: "Whatever happens, you have a friend in me."

"Quaden, you are stronger than you think, friend," Jackman said. “Everyone, let's be kind to each other. Harassment is not right, period. ”
