Paul Warwick is named at full-back, Keith Earls will start in the centre and Marcus Horan returns to the front row.
O'Gara missed Munster's trip to Swansea last weekend with a slight hamstring injury, while Warwick was injured in that game sparking worries over the out-half berth, but both came through yesterday's rain lashed Musgrave Park training session with Warwick preferred at full-back to Denis Hurley, who is named on the bench.
As such, the side shows just one change in the starting XV from the side that defeated Sale back in October.
That change comes in the back-row where a fit again Denis Leamy replaces John O'Sullivan, while there is also just one change on the bench from that time with Niall Ronan in for Justin Melck, who has returned to his native South Africa.
Sale have made one change to last week's starting line-up against London Irish - Richard Wigglesworth being named at scrum-half ahead of Dwayne Peel.
Munster XV v Sale, Heineken Cup, Thomond Park, Friday 16 January, kick-off 8pm: P Warwick; D Howlett, K Earls, L Mafi, I Dowling, R O'Gara, T O'Leary; M Horan, J Flannery, J Hayes; D O'Callaghan, P O'Connell capt, A Quinlan, D Wallace, D Leamy.
