Wallabies outside back Adam Ashley Cooper believes league convert Benji Marshall will make a successful transition to rugby union.

The Waratahs square off against Marshall and the Blues in Sydney on Friday night in a Super Rugby pre season fixture.

Cooper said Marshall will have a bit of time to adjust to the change of code.

More than 30,000 tickets have so far been sold for Friday night's game.

Meanwhile, the Blues take on the Highlanders in their first Super Rugby match on the 22nd of this month.
