DURBAN, June 5<\/span> (Reuters) – It is time for England to move on
\nfrom their exploits in this year’s Six Nations and build on
\ntheir good start under coach Stuart Lancaster, lock Geoff
\nParling said on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

England finished second in the Six Nations losing only once,
\nto eventual champions Wales, confounding many experts who felt
\nthe team would struggle in Lancaster’s first series in charge.<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

“It is important to move on from the Six Nations. We
\nexceeded a lot of people’s expectations in the Six Nations but
\nwe didn’t actually win, we came second,” Parling told reporters
\nin Durban where England play South Africa on June 9 in the first
\nof three tests.<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

“We want to strive to win those competitions but now we are
\nmoving on from there, it is about building and trying to get
\nbetter.<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

“There is no better opportunity, especially for the
\nforwards, than to try and do it here (South Africa). We don’t
\nwant to talk about the Six Nations anymore, we want to move on
\nand talk about having a successful tour,” he explained.<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

England have not beaten the Springboks in South Africa since
\na 27-22 victory in Bloemfontein in 2000.<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

However, South Africa will be playing their first test under
\ncoach Heyneke Meyer and the squad will only have had five days
\ntogether before clash but Parling said he and his team mates
\nwere not thinking too far ahead.<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

“I don’t think we can get too far ahead of ourselves because
\nit is going to be difficult,” the 28-year-old said.
