Quote The 30-year-old front rower is best known to English rugby league fans for knocking out Great Britain forward Stuart Fielden with a single punch during the 2006 Tri Nations Series in Sydney.
Mason, who also tangled with Great Britain captain Jamie Peacock during that series, says he is ready for a re-match with Fielden - Hull KR's first meeting with Wigan is on April 15 - or any other English forward.
"I'm looking forward to it," Mason told Sky Sports News on arrival at Manchester Airport. "Stuart's a goer, he's a very proud man and I'm pretty sure he wants to square up and play as hard as he can with me.
"And I won't take a backward step against anyone, regardless of whether it's Stuart Fielden or any English players."'"
That didn't take long, did it? Although probably prompted by Bill Arthur, Willie certainly doesn't beat about the bush!
