The players' father Francois had suffered from Parkinson's disease for many years.

Hooker Bismarck, 32, had been due to make his competitive return following five months out because of a torn pectoral muscle.

Montpellier are third in the Top 14, Toulouse seventh and just outside the play-off positions.
