Reece Robinson plans to pick the mind of his new NSW Waratahs teammate Israel Folau as he bids to make a successful conversion from the NRL to Super Rugby.

Robinson has joined the Waratahs ahead of the 2016 season on a two-year deal after an eight year stint in rugby league with Brisbane, Canberra and Parramatta.

Folau stands as one of the most successful code hoppers from rugby league to rugby union and Robinson said on Monday the dual international should be a fountain of knowledge for him on how to make the jump to the 15-a-side game.

It is the first time the two have crossed paths in football. Robinson left the Broncos the season before Folau joined them in 2009.
