With David Strettle rested under the EPS agreement, Michael Tagicakibau switches to the wing which then sees Henson come into the starting line-up.
"Gavin’s had another good week with us in training and we were very pleased with his contribution at Wembley," said Director of Rugby Brendan Venter.
"Having spoken to Gavin, he recognises the need we have at outside centre and wants to help the team. We’re looking forward to what should be a very good game against a tough Sale Sharks side."
Gavin Henson said, "I felt pretty good at Wembley and didn’t feel like I had been out for 21 months. I just need a bit more time out on the pitch and get my hands on the ball a lot more. I’m pleased I got that game out of the way and now I’m looking forward to the game this weekend."
