In their following fixture, he scored a try against Italy, becoming the oldest player ever to score for England, before winning his fiftieth cap away to Ireland.

Easter was part of the England squad that won the 2011 Six Nations, despite defeat to Ireland 24–8, which resulted in them missing out on the grand slam. He lifted the Six Nations trophy as England captain, their first trophy win since the 2003 World Cup. He was also part of England's squad in the World Cup, and was reported to be the player to have reacted to England's quarter-final defeat to France in Auckland, by saying "There's £35k just gone down the toilet."

During the 2008 Six Nations, he was named man of the match in England's 24–13 success over France. In their following campaign, Easter started in all five of England's matches. During England's tour to Australia in 2010, he was named man of the match in their second test victory, 21–20 over Australia, helping secure England's first win over The Wallabies since their World Cup success on Australian soil in 2003. Later that year, he captained his country during the autumn internationals, where they defeated Samoa 26–13.

Easter has appeared in three episodes of BBC One programme A Question of Sport between 2008 and 2010. In 2016, he appeared in an episode of Pointless Celebrities, partnered with former rugby union and rugby league footballer; Martin Offiah.

A skilful and powerful No 8, Easter a late comer to professional rugby made his England debut in their Six Nations victory over Italy on 10 February 2007. On 4 August 2007, Easter scored four tries as England defeated Wales by a record 62–5 at Twickenham Stadium, in a World Cup warm-up fixture, which made Easter the first ever number 8 to score four tries for England. He started six matches of the 2007 Rugby World Cup, where he was a key influence in England's route to the final, where they suffered a 6-15 defeat to South Africa in the final.
