That's taking it up to 6,000rpm and certainly needs rev matching to save loading the clutch and transmission. Try using 3rd instead which will still take the engine up to over 4,000rpm and give good engine braking without so much load on everything. It's probably the right gear for the turn too, it's very flexible if you're just cruising.

Came here to suggest 3rd as well. I bet he doesn't even need the clutch to engage 3rd smoothly at 18mph.
