Webb has enjoyed a productive season with Ospreys in the RaboDirect PRO12, causing him to usurp Mike Phillips' No.9 shirt for Wales.
And it is former Neath and Swansea centre Gibbs, who captained Ospreys in their first season, that Webb is looking to emulate.
"My earliest memory of Wales-England games was when Scott Gibbs went over to score that winning try at Wembley," he said.
"He did something special because we hadn't beaten them for a while. Everyone speaks about that score and whatever else happens in these matches, because Wales and England are rivals.
"You think about those things - players who have scored winning tries - and you hope one day it will be you.
"When I was growing up, everyone would talk about the big battles between Wales and England. Those are the matches you want to be involved in, the heated battles.
"I came across them with Wales U16s and U18s. They were a very big side then, but we had a strong team as well with the likes of Warby (Sam Warburton) and Jon Davies. They were always good, even matches - and I think we won both games."
