Two of Auckland's biggest schools are at the centre of a first XV player eligibility debate.

A teenage student made a well-being transfer from Mount Albert Grammar to King's College- but faces a two-year stand-down from first XV rugby, according to the 1A code of practice.

The teen's father, Aaron Taylor, believes Mount Albert Grammar are being stubborn by not budging on the codes in place.

"That's to stop poaching, and in my case, my son wasn't poached. Wasn't even in the frame for any kind of higher honours at his previous school. So they're not using any kind of discretion or common sense."
